I'm confident the SCO Compiler guys will get to the bottom of it :) They've got all the info they need, as far as I know, as well as access to my box.

In the meantime would'nt it be nice to try to understand what happens and correct it? I'm a bit afraid that 8.1 is not used on unixware because people don't have/want the patch installed.

The apparent workaround for now would be to compile with optimisation turned off. Or use another compiler - gcc is available isn't it? cheers andrew

The SCO compiler was a buggy mess with any optimization turned on 10 years ago, and it still is. I see no reason our community should waste time helping fix such a buggy compiler. If it was buggy for the past 10 years, I think it will be buggy for the next 10 too. We should just turn off optimization for that compiler. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
