I don't recall them either. The patch I'm talking about was such that ctfconvert didn't choke anymore. If ctfmerge was also causing problems that's something I didn't know about. Either way, there's agreement the patch was not a real fix (even if nobody recalls why, right now), and you have an alternative. > which forced us to rip the whole VLA code out... ;-( > ... anyway... if "DEBUGFORMAT=-xdebugformat=dwarf" really works and > is allowed within OS/Net then we finally have the cart out of the > mud (few weeks to late for ksh93s+ to get all the VLA patches > re-integrated into the upstream codebase but we have lots of time > during the ksh93t- development cycle... :-) ). > > ---- > > Bye, > Roland > > -- > __ . . __ > (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] > \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer > /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 > (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
