No I don't actually. It's strange because I didn't hit this bug at all when compiling ocamlnet for Fedora. Unfortunately Fedora policy stops me from incorporating this fix: http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=3866 into our OCaml. It would have to be accepted into upstream (INRIA's) OCaml first. But it's desperately needed, so please vote for INRIA to include it :-) Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
