I`ll proceed in the time order of events: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 15:52:38 +0400: I`ve produced a testcase for make which causes it to bail out with a *** Virtual memory exhausted. Stop message on a perfectly valid, sane and real-world Makefile. link: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2003-06/msg00026.html
Tue, 17 Jun 2003 09:22:22 -0400 The respective GNU make maintainer replied to me with a short message, which could be reduced to the following quote: "This is a known bug that has been fixed in the source for a while" link: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2003-06/msg00027.html I forwarded that reply to the Debian Make Maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed, 18 Jun 2003 14:12:31 +0400 I`ve submitted a Bug into the Debian bugtracking system, which has received a number #197886. link: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=197886 now, after ~12 days the bug was reported, make is still broken. regards, Samium Gromoff
