The malloc() and free() on FBSD 5.0 is set to by default overwrite memory with 0xd0d0d0d0 whenever it's free()'d. This will be disabled once 5.0 is officially released, so it would have built correctly on the final 5.0. It's actually failed to build on FreeBSD -current for quite a while; it just wasn't until now (Christmas vacation) that I had a chance to investigate. I'm quite surprised the memory debugger didn't find it. It shows-up while compiling libsrc/common/ and libsrc/cbm/. -- If I could think of a two-line witty aphorism for you to remember me by, this would definitely be it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
