[ FREEZE is about waiting a moment before uploading a new ocaml package and thinking about a possible bug, not about our mini-freeze :-]
Just because we are talking about uploading a new ocaml package ... This is a bug report I've submitted last week to caml-bugs along with response that Xavier send me. He is unable to reproduce the bug, please test if you are able to reproduce the bug, if this is the case we probably have a problem with debian shipped ocaml compiler.

I ran your test case exactly as provided, but the error you mention did not appear, with OCaml 3.06 nor with the development version. - Xavier Leroy ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Uni.
