I've noticed this in the last sparc64 bulk build report: http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//sparc64/2019-01-10/net/amule,-daemon.log I haven't looked into the details yet. It might be a fluke, or it might support your "exceptions are broken" theory. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
