Package: egg
Version: 4.0.6+0.20041122cvs-11
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Egg doesn't work on amd64 system.
I shortly investigate and found the following facts:
"wnn-open" fails because "wnnrpc-open" fails.
"wnnrpc-open" should try several protocols with the server for
negotiation, but actually it tries only Wnn8 then fails.
I don't investigate the details but, at least, "wnnrpc-get-result" has
bug.
The following code shows the problem:
(defmacro wnnrpc-get-result (&rest body)
`(let (result)
(comm-unpack (u) result)
(if (< result 0)
(progn
(comm-unpack (u) result)
(- result))
,@(or body '(result)))))
"comm-unpack" converts the contents of the communication buffer to the
lisp objects. In this case, "u" conversion means 32bit unsigned
integer. Thus it never becomes negative, but the code expected that.
If the system is 32bit integer, the number may become negative, but
amd64 has longer width, perhaps this may cause the problems.
