It's likely better to hack around it if it is limited to SaveWorkspace, then to simply stick with 4.4.10, since presumably there are many bugs that got fixed in 4.4.12 that are in 4.4.10. Moreover, whatever is the real bug causing this is probably not way worse in 4.4.12 than in 4.4.10. Do you have still know how to access the Itanium account(s) I got you? Do I need to setup anything for you? -- William > > On 10 Jan 2010, at 19:11, William Stein wrote: > >> On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 10:17 AM, Dima Pasechnik <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> On Jan 10, 11:56 pm, William Stein <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> On Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 11:10 PM, Dima Pasechnik <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>> William, >>>>> I think I can reproduce one of your Itanium GAP bug; the workspace >>>>> filename gets mangled by SaveWorkspace. >>>>> (so the workspace gets saved, but with a horribly wrong name...) >>>>> Should be next to trivial to fix... >>>>> Dima >>>> >>>> Sweet.
