I ended up finding the issue by a focused code review.
Once in the past, I had a version that would fail under one architecture but
not another,
in that case some help from Brian Ripley pointed me to the offending line of C
code.
That line read, but did not write, at an invalid memory location. Starting
with the
question of "what C routines have I added or modified most recently" along with
where the
fault appeared to occur in my test suite, I started reading C code and found
one.
Revised code passes tests on the winbuilder site.
For the curious, I had a line asking "is this patient id different than the
last patient
id" in the C routine underneath survcheck(); I'm making sure that patients
don't go
backwards in time. Essentially
for (i=0; i< n; i) {
if (id[i] != id[i-1] ) { ...}
It is still a surprise to me that just LOOKING at this out of range element
would cause a
failure, [i-1] never appears on the left hand side of any expressions in the
... chunk
above. Nevertheless, it was an error. Que sera sera
A strong thanks to those who gave solid suggestions for bringing up a local
copy of Windows.
