Hez, Things get weirder and weirder. I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 64 on a virtual machine, installed the distribution-provided packages, and test_plend works fine (not more valgrind-clean than with the other distributions I've tested, though). In the end, I've only been able to reproduce this iss

Hello all, Some progress finally. I still don't know what's causing the error, except that it's triggered by having a QApplication (set in GUI mode) in the driver. But it looks like it does not occur when I use a Qt distribution compiled on my system (exact same version of the library). In the

Hi Alan, I have looked at the locale behaviour with the small program below: /* chklocale.c -- Check the behaviour of the locale - printf() and friends */ #include #include int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) { float x = 1.2; setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, ""); printf( "Number
