The previous bug was in the handling of .bss sections for relocatable
object files in the RTS linker -- the fix is included in STABLE. It's
not clear that it would apply in this context though.

I'm not able to reproduce this one with last night's STABLE build.
Perhaps the bug reporter could add details on how the binary was
built & run, maybe even include "-v" on the GHC command-line?

thx

this error has been reported before and was fixed in ghc 6.4.1 but has been revived in ghc 6.4.2:

test3.exe: .: getDirectoryContents: failed (No error)

module Main where

import System.Directory

main =    do s <- getDirectoryContents "."
           putStr (concat s)

This works fine for ghc 6.4.1 bld1. The error is encountered in 6.4.2 snapshots from Feb. 25 and newer (elder ones have not tested), and the same snapshots with the MinGW files from afore mentioned ghc 6.4.1 (it's not the MinGW).

My system is: Cygwin (WinXP) and ghc 6.4.1 bld1 or 6.4.2 (Cajal works better).

Thanks; I've made a ticket for this:

Sigbjorn: do you think this is the same problem as before?  (see
http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/glasgow-haskell-bugs/2005-July/005338.html)

Cheers,
Simon
