Hi,
I don't know what happened in the meantime (trac temporarily down),
but I code-reviewed the omalloc code which comes with Singular for an
hour or two. No definite clue yet why it chokes (many guesses,
worthless without "live" tests), but as a by-result I can say that
this code as-is certainly will not run on Windows 64 Bit native. It
assumes and uses (hardcoded at several places when initializing a
variable) that the size of a void pointer is equal to the size of a C
long. Which is wrong for Windows 64 Bit systems.
Cheers,
gsw
