Re: `print' does not print

Yup, that's correct, errno 9 is EBADF.

    Breakpoint 3, printchar (ch=10, fun=273515572) at print.c:333
    333           fwrite (str, 1, len, stdout);
    (gdb) p str
    $8 = "\n\000\000"
    (gdb) next
1   334           noninteractive_need_newline = 1;
    (gdb) call fwrite (str, 1, len, (&__iob[1]))
2
    $9 = 1
    (gdb)

At `1' I would have expected to see the newline printed as a result
from the `next' command , at `2' the newline ist printed as a result
of the gdb `call'.  This is what I referred to as `fwrite works when
called from gdb'.  I can even muck with the str:

    (gdb) set str = "ho\n"
    (gdb) set len = 3
    (gdb) p str
    $29 = "ho\n"
    (gdb) call fwrite (str, 1, len, (&__iob[1]))
    ho
    $30 = 3

I'm trying the CVS gcc version, though this will take some time,
naturally.
