This flag should not break anything that was not broken before. You will just lose about a factor 1.5 in speed. IMO not worth it for this issue. Moreover, it does not fix the fundamental issue. As soon as you get the Forth system to try to execute unaligned code, you have the segmentation fault. For an indirect threaded system this works like this: align here 1- here swap , execute I'll try to check out in the next hours what happens. - anton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
