That's great news, thanks for following up. As soon as I have time after the new year I will rerun the tests and let you know how I get on. I've seen quite a few patches go by in relation to my original reports; are you saying that (excepting the above) everything I reported should now be fixed? Or just the arches quoted above? What is the status of the libposix branch now? Should I merge the tip of trunk into the topic branch before making a new libposix tarball for test purposes? Cheers, Gary -- Gary V.
