No, I haven't seen it before. I can't pin it down to anything right in the htsearch code, so it would seem to be out of our control. Something is causing the last part of the output to the "cout" ostream object to get lost before reaching it's final destination (the web browser). I suspect a bug in your C++ library, or maybe in Apache's CGI program handling. This is why it's important to make sure you've installed any relevant Red Hat bug fixes. > > Have you even tried installing all the Red Hat errata update RPMs? > > > > Right now, I'm less likely to roll out new software to the production > machines - this is not out of the question, though. I'm not talking installing major new revisions of any packages here. I'm talking security and bug fix releases right from Red Hat. If you're not installing these on a production web server, you're really asking for grief. Red Hat does a pretty good job of issuing solid bug fix patches for its free distributions (Red Hat 9, Fedora Core 1) without breaking anything or forcing a jump to a new major release. I'd imagine they'd be even more careful about Enterprise Linux. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
