After much investigation, I tend to agree with him. I'll see if I can find the point where things broke and start from there (I keep all alpha gcc versions that I compile for upload, so this should be easy :-P).
I'll also start flipping through the code again in case it's easy to spot (which it might be). C ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 19:00:49 -0700 From: H . J .

Gcc 3.0 has fixed it. H.J.
