Thanks, Paul. Producing a test case for the problem at hand is not really that trivial. The executable links with a dozen libraries. Each library has a couple of dozen object files. So the elimination process is not that quick. What I will do is separate some of the offending object files into a separate library. It will be linked in by whoever needs the functionality in it and nobody else. That should accomplish the task.
As to the bug, coming up with a trivial case example is not easy for the same reason: too many libraries and object files. I even suspect that the sheer number of them might be causing this problem. Thanks for your advice. Greg _______________________________________________ Help-gplusplus mailing list Help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
