I added a post there to try to get more people to test on 32- and 64- bit systems.
There have been a few suggestions on things to try posted at comp.lang.ada but not having access to a 64-bit crasher makes it hard. I could code up a couple of things and let someone else try them if someone is inclined to play with it. FWIW, the comp.lang.ada thread is here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/ 0e5a3abec221df39?hl=en Jerry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
