You see, the pointer is 0x0000000000b37a95 while it should be more like, 0xXXXXXXXX00b37a95, where X is some hex number. What happens is probably, void *p1; // <- original pointer void *p2 = (void*)(int)p1; ie. they cast it to int and then back to a pointer. Works on all 32-bit platforms :) Fails on all 64-bit ones. - Adam PS. Forwarded upstream to the same bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
