We did fix quite a few optimiser bugs in the 3.00 OS release, but not much has changed in the optimiser or code generator since then (well ... maybe a few bug fixes at 3.11 also). If Mitch is running CCI BSD ... I'm not sure that is supported anymore. If he is running CCI SysV, then it really ought to be 3.02 or later. If pure BSD (4.3tahoe), then lots of other people should have the same problems, I would have thought. -- <<< standard disclaimers >>> Nick Crossley, ICL NA, 9801 Muirlands, Irvine, CA 92718-2521, USA 714-458-7282 uunet!ccicpg!ndjc / ndjc@ccicpg.UUCP
