Am I going nuts or is this really true. The following file drops a core on doing a tbl tbl_dump when I do it on our recent (early august 88) 3130 running the SGI 3.6 distribution, yet if I do it on an older 2400T (running 3.5) it works fine and when run through troff generates the correct output. Can someone else confirm this so I can then go and breath on the SGI hotline. ================================================================== ==== text of tbl_dump ==== ==== replace all # with a tab character (ctrl-I) before using ==== ================================================================== -- CUT HERE -- .TS center box; l l l l c | n | n l.

I recently "updated" our 3130 to 3.6 and your sample tbl file gave me a segmentation violation and a core dump. I then reloaded our 3.5 version and it ran ok. The strange thing is that there was only one more line of output to go (for the 3.6) when it died. Have you heard anything from SGI, or do they say there isn't anything wrong.
