I've let Frederik Schueler run run that test on an dual CPU box in a loop. He says that all 120 runs of it were succesful. I also tried it many times myself and they all were succesful too. If there was a problem, it might have been fixed, or it might not have been. If a problem only shows once in a while, it's ussualy a timing issue. Building with a different compiler might generate different results because of this. I've seen it too many times that when rebuild without -O or with gdb attached the problems seem to go away. Compilation with a different compiler can have the same effect. That does not mean the problem isn't there anymore, it just means it's now showing up in the tests you do. I doubt in this case gcc-3.4 solved anything. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
