Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51527 (project make): Numerous memory corruption bugs have been fixed in the 11 years since make 3.81, some with just the sort of input sensitivity you report here. One example:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40159 I only have anecdotal evidence but even Debian, who would backport any fix pointed out to them for any reproducible test case, had a version that was riven by such occasional crashes until we removed the blocker for them to upgrade to version 4.x under: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33034 I don't think you'll find anyone is interested in debugging a version of make from so long ago, so I regrettably think you'd be better off redirecting your considerable efforts towards getting a newer version. The dates on: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base/make/ ... make that project look pretty moribund. The eponymous ez in: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/ ... is Gnu make's Windows maintainer. I haven't tried it and don't remember seeing reference to it before but maybe you'll have more luck there? If not, then sorry. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51527> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
