bidiv and the default $COLUMNS value
Hi, This is not a problen. I am just curious. In my system, whenever I use bidiv without giving a value to the parameter w, or when giving it an odd value, I get the error message: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0804b650 *** ^ No problems when using bidiv -w x, where x is an even number. After rereading the man page for bidiv, I cheched: echo $COLUMNS. As suspected, I got an odd number: 99. Question: Where is this value defined ? Thanks, Avraham PS The command: export COLUMNS=98, did not influence bidiv's behaviour, altough echo $COLUMNS gave 98. -- Please avoid sending to this address attachments in excess of 2MByte, or any Excell or Powerpoint attachments. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Which Linux distribution are you using that you got your bidiv from, and do you know what version it uses?

Re: bidiv and the default $COLUMNS value
Good Morning Thanks for the prompt reaction. As it did not answer my question, I downloaded the tarbals for bidiv, versions 1.5 and 1.4, grepped -i for COLUMNS (found them only in the remarks) and compared (diff) the bidiv and Makefile files between the two distributions (none found). I guess that, at this stage, I shall call it a day. Thanks to you and Dan for the program. I use it a lot.
