------ I am being terrorized by a very nasty bug. The problem is as follows. As soon as a call a routine in the standard C library (e.g time(), chdir(), getcwd()) my progam dies. This error occured after I had added some code to my working program. Step by step I removed the new code, but the error still remained. I then compiled and linked the very basic functions only (i.e the "shell"), with a call to time(). That worked ok. I then relinked that .obj file with the rest of my .obj files (no calls to this code however). Believe it or not, but the program freaks out. It seems as if there is an error in the linking process. Any suggestions concerning the possible cause of these bugs will be highly appreciated. Mikael Kindborg Department of Computer Science University of Stockholm Sweden

I hwe had a simular problem with time(), but the problem did turn out to be in the functions _dos_getcwd and _dos_setdir (and posible som of the other _dos_* stuff) how was responsible. This was du to a bug in Microsoft C-compiler 5.0, that we discowerd in a book abot Windows programing (it was 'Grafic Window Programming' or someting simular to that i think) And i used the funktion DlgDirList() to change directory.

The only thing I can think of is that you've compiled your code with one memory model and linked to a library of a different model. Something like compiling with /AM and linking with slibc.lib. --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd.hp.com) HP Corvallis Information Systems
