Re: fd_set_vector_max: misunderstanding or bug?

[Lars Frantzen]

Hi Dirk,

just a general comment here, I had similar problems with fd_set_vector_max
on a 64bit Ubuntu 6.1.0 and gprolog 1.3.0. For instance

test(A,B,C) :- 
        A #=# 24,
        B #=<# 44,
        C #=# A*B,
        fd_labeling([A,B,C]).

did not report all the solutons it should. I then tried the unstable
version and there it works fine.

Cheers,
Lars
