"We" KNOW. The logic is simple: it builds on other arches including x86, x86_64, and PPC, and the compiler is a pure Ocaml program. QED. The bug is in Ocaml native code compiler. > Go, test code, and file > appropriate bug reports. It has been done.

Knocking out perfectly good code from the 1st Tier processors Ocaml supports, on which it works, is unreasonable. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
