I attempted a bit of debugging on this, but got stuck. As far as I could make out, something in processClass() corrupts the c argument to soft_initialize_class(), which ends up as 0x01 after the return from processClass(). That argument is held in a register, so I suspect that some piece of sparc asm is overwriting a register it's not supposed to. Unfortunately, my knowledge of sparc runs out well before hitting assembler ... -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
