MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit After several reports of crashes that seemed to be in the memory allocation routines, I finally got a report that allowed me to trace it correctly. The bug is actually a very simple one. The following patch should fix it: *** ed1928_stable:[src]vmsgmalloc.c Thu Jun 19 21:49:41 1997 --- vmsgmalloc.c Thu Apr 2 04:25:13 1998 *************** *** 1320,1326 **** #endif #ifdef VMS ! /*#define DEBUG_VMSGMALLOC*/ /* We use sys$expreg and friends, so we need the starlet definitions. */ #include --- 1320,1326 ---- #endif #ifdef VMS ! /* #define DEBUG_VMSGMALLOC */ /* We use sys$expreg and friends, so we need the starlet definitions. */ #include *************** *** 1555,1562 **** --- 1555,1566 ---- if (tmpadr[1][0] == -1 || tmpadr[1][1] - tmpadr[1][0] + 1 < increment) return NULL; + #if 0 /* experimental */ if (result >= vms_fake_heap_end && result < vms_real_heap_start) result = tmpadr[1][0]; + #else + result = tmpadr[1][0]; + #endif vms_brk_current = result + increment; if (vms_brk_end < tmpadr[1][1] + 1) vms_brk_end = tmpadr[1][1] + 1; This does not fix the problem with DEC C 5.6 munging the description files to destruction. That is being worked on. -- R Levitte, Levitte Programming; Spannv. 38, I; S-168 35 Bromma; SWEDEN Tel: +46-8-26 52 47; Cel: +46-708-20 09 64; No fax right now PGP key fingerprint = A6 96 C0 34 3A 96 AA 6C B0 D5 9A DF D2 E9 9C 65 Check http://richard.levitte.org/ for my public key. bastard@bofh.se "price, performance, quality.
