Do you have time to bring this patch to the attention of upstream, perhaps by opening an issue on <URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/open-cobol/ >? This is the kind of problem that is best solved upstream. Note, I am not involved in maintaining gnucobol, just a passing developer noticing the package status. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
