That's sounds like this bug, yes. I had that problem also. But I can imagine that patching so close before a release can give some problems... A good test is to run the following program from /usr/lib (or another LARGE directory.) Maybe Peter could try that once with a new kernel? --- program test_readdir; var str : string; begin getdir(0,str); writeln(str); end. --- Joost van der Sluis. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
