Hello Pierre, $ /bin/grep -w p_new *.c head = p_new(archive_head, 1); file = p_new(archive_file, 1); file->attrs = p_new(archive_file_attr *, file->nb_attrs); $ cat archive.c head = p_new(archive_head, 1); file = p_new(archive_file, 1); file->attrs = p_new(archive_file_attr *, file->nb_attrs); I couldn't reproduce this bug. $ dpkg -l grep libc6 | grep ^ii ii grep 2.5.3~dfsg-1 GNU grep, egrep and fgrep ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries $ locale LANG=en_AU LC_CTYPE="en_AU" LC_NUMERIC="en_AU" LC_TIME="en_AU" LC_COLLATE="en_AU" LC_MONETARY="en_AU" LC_MESSAGES="en_AU" LC_PAPER="en_AU" LC_NAME="en_AU" LC_ADDRESS="en_AU" LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU" LC_ALL= Best Regards, Aníbal Monsalve Salazar -- http://v7w.com/anibal
