From: bill@yossarian.ucsd.edu (Bill Reynolds) Subject: BUG in libc? Date: 29 May 1993 05:37:55 GMT
I've been tripped up by what looks like a bug in the C-library printf
function. I'm running linux 0.99pl6 with gcc version 2.3.3. I've got
both libc.so.4.1 and libc.so.4.3 in /lib.
The bug manifests itself when I run some code that does some numerical
integration using fortran libraries from netlib translated with f2c,
(VERSION 22 July 1992 22:54:52) and linked with the f2c library. The
code is somewhat large, so I'll wait to send it if anyone is
interested. Basically, if I put a printf statement in the program,
variables that have nothing to do with the printf get corrupted.
Any help I could get on getting this running would be greatly
appreciated.
