Below is code that you can copy into a *.c file, compile with gcc and run it. ------------------------------- /* test.c */ #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { char a[2] = { 1, 0 }; char b[2] = { 0, 0 }; printf("%d\n", strcmp(a,b)); } ------------------------------- compile as: gcc -O0 test.c If the output is -1, the bug has been fixed. If the output is 0, then the bug is still present. 0 indicates the two strings are equal. Clearly they are not. :) Patrick > One of my major problems with helping debian and the sparc port has > > been simply figuring out what is wrong.
