Re: [Chicken-users] chicken-3.4.0 and locale egg

[F. Wittenberger]

Hi,

my experience might not be related to your problem here at all.

YMMV

But the past days I spent much time to track down a - for me new -
bug/problem relating to uhm, a special case:  I recently upgraded to
ubuntu 9.10 on a amd64 plattform.  All sudden my program ran into all
sorts of problems.  After some testing those did not look as
reproducible as at the beginning.  Instead they appeared to be sort of
random.

The temporary solution: don't use gcc version 4.4.1-4ubuntu8 on amd64
with -O3.  -O2 does work for me.  So much for MY special case.

I feel compelled to add that I recall having tracked down another bug on
a 64bit platform for a prior gcc version some years ago wrt. RScheme
generated code.

Take care.

/Jörg
