that was indeed a lurking bug. excellent remote debugging skills, thanks! :) i pushed the fix. now after i touch'd the appropriate spec files, it doesn't want to run c2ffi anymore, but it's still regenerating the lisp file unconditionally. i ran out of hacking steam for today. i'll look into it tomorrow, but further remote debugging magic is welcome of course... :) i'm kinda lost for now. i have no plan of action, so to say... :) -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- Liberty is a demand.
