Bug with glibc patch installed

[geoff]

Hi,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first configuration is ...

+ Linux lee.cs.miami.edu 2.4.20-6smp #1 SMP Thu Feb 27 09:59:40 EST 2003 i686 
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
+ glibc version 2.3.2-27.9.7
+ Prolog top-Level (GNU Prolog) 1.2.16
+ Here is the Prolog code I am compiling with gplc ...

    :-op(150,fy,~).
    %--------------------------------------------------------------------
    do:-
        read(It),
        write(It),
        nl,
        halt.
    %--------------------------------------------------------------------
    :-initialization(do).
    %--------------------------------------------------------------------

+ And here's what gplc reports ...

My first configuration is ...
+ Linux duck 2.4.20-6 #1 Thu Feb 27 10:06:59 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
+ glibc version is 2.3.2-5
+ Prolog top-Level (GNU Prolog) 1.2.16
+ Same program as above
+ gplc compiles fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
RedHat introduced the patch for glibc version 2.3.2-27.9.7 to replace
glibc version is 2.3.2-5. We suspect that is the cause of the compile
errors on the first machine.

Thanks for a cool product anyway.

Cheers,

Geoff
