We love valgrind. When I first saw this error in valgrind, Googling pointed me to the old PRNG issue with k[256] being uninitialized, quite a few ranting messages about valgrind, the KDE and sqlite bugs pointing back and forth at each other and a finally "funny-hmm" commit message ranting. So I thought it prudent to don my asbestos underpants before posting this. :) > It's the useless and > annoying warning messages from VC++ that we hate. Ah, thankfully I personally only worry about warnings that are reproducible on Linux... Unfortunately, my code still has to work on VC++. :( -- Mvh/Regards, Kent Dahl Software Developer Industrial Control Design AS Phone: +47 93 07 32 30 Breivika Industriveg 63 N-6018 Ålesund Norway [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.icd.no The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
