Hello 

I am using prc-tools 2.3 on Cygwin 1.5.10 and Windows XP SP2.

>From what I understand, the "section" attribute affects only code.
Until now I thought specifying a section for global variables 
had absolutely no effect.

However, I am working on a project where it has been done, and 
we are seeing unexpected results like the program crashes or
variables that get overwritten.

The code generated is not quite the same then.
It seems putting a variable "in" a section (whatever that means
for a variable) does have some effect after all (although 
said effect is undesirable).

Can someone comment on this?  
Which is correct:
Specifying a section for a global variable
- should NOT be done?
- has no effect?
- should be done under certain circumstances?
- other?
 
Thanks,
Nicolas
