Re: [Bug-gnubg] Fedora Core 4 Build Problem

[Christian Anthon]

The crash was caused by a bug in the code, only visable when memory
mapping failed or was disabled. I've checked in a fix for your compile
problem and for the bug as well.

My own guide-line to when a system is too old is debian stable, but it
is possible that some or all of your problems are present on currently
supported rhel systems, and I believe we should support those as well
(if possible without too much code pollution). So send me a diff of
what you need to do, and I'll take a look.

Christian.
