I'm sorry to broadcast this so far and wide, but I discovered the
problem on a hobbyist system and don't have access to support
channels. This should be quite easy to reproduce and I assume will
be of interest to the compiler maintainers.
The access violation in the most recent version of the C compiler
occurred when building a debug version of a recent Perl development
snapshot. The source can be obtained from
<http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, though very likely the
released version of Perl would demonstrate the same problem.
Gunzip it, untar, and build the util module using commands similar to
the following (although I used MMK, I can't imagine MMS would make
any difference). Please contact me if any further information is required.
