You might also try different -O levels to see if that works. There was (is?) a bug in IBM's xlc that generated bad code in the Tk text widget with -O, but not -g or -O2+. Different techniques are used and thus you get different code sometimes that eliminates the buggy assembly code ... The wonders of compilers. Jeff
