[aspell] aspell .28.1/gcc 2.9.5 problems on UnixWare.

[Philip J. Hollenback]

Hello,

I've tried compiling aspell on SCO UnixWare several times over the last
year, with varying degrees of success.  Thanks to some help from Kevin,
I finally got aspell .28.1 compiled on UnixWare 7.0.1 with gcc 2.9.5.
Here's what I had to do:

1. Add

#include <typeinfo>

to i_iterator.hh

2. Changed real_data.hh line 124 to

{return (iterator)(data_-sizeof(size_type));}

3. In check-t.hh, changed

value_type operator* () const {return **itr;}

to

v_iterator::value_type operator* () const {return **itr;}

After which I was able to compile the program.

However, the resultant binary coredumps every time I run it.  Note that
the stl rope fix is no longer necessary with this version of gcc.
Running

# aspell

just causes a coredump.

# aspell --help

prints the help message and then coredumps.

Inspection of the core file shows a segmentation violation.  The stack
trace isn't very helpful, it just shows the sigsegv.

So, any ideas?  Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks,
Phil.
