[gnu.utils.bug] ar on the sparc

andrewt@watnow.waterloo.edu (Andrew Thomas) (02/06/90)

I have been having problems with GNU ar on our sparcserver,
encountering segmentation violations regularly.  I tracked down one
problem to strcmp being called on a null pointer in two locations, and
corrected that, but there are other segmentation faults where
addresses are out of range.  Has anybody encountered this, and if so,
how was it corrected?  Any help would be much appreciated. ar on this
machine is about 1/10th the speed of GNU ar.

Thanks,
  Andrew
