- Hello world
-
- I'm writing because I've come up against what looks like a bug in
- SCO's msgrcv(2) implementation.
-
- It looks like msgrcv(2) is munging my stack. Sometimes after calling
- msgrcv(), automatic variables in the calling function are munged. Other
- times the process dies when it tries to return from msgrcv().
-
- In some cases I've been able to work around it by adding lots of local
- variables to the calling function - but even that doesn't always work.
- I have a (sort of) little sample program which works fine or dies
- depending on a the number of local variables.
-
- This is most annoying. And because I don't have luxo development support
- the best response I can get out of SCO is monday next.
-
- If you have any similar experience, or want a copy of my sample program,
- please email me as I may not have time to browse the news for a while...
-
- thanks in advance
