[comp.lang.perl] Problems with perl.pl44 on IRIX 3.3.1

russell@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz (Russell J Fulton;ccc032u) (01/14/91)

I have just applied patches 42 - 44 to perl and then reConfigured and
the ran make etc.

Configure wrongly guessed the type returned by signal so I set 'voidsig'
by hand in the confif.sh. Likewise I undefed  'vfork' as noted in README.

Everything compiled ok except for warning about files that could not be
optimised because they were to large. But when I tried to run the test I
struck trouble. Here is the abbreviated output from make test:

	 chmod +x t/TEST t/base.* t/comp.* t/cmd.* t/io.* t/op.* t/lib.*; \
	cd t && (rm -f perl; ln -s ../perl .) && ./perl TEST
base.cond.......ok
base.if.........ok
.
.
op.do...........ok
op.each.........ok
op.eval.........FAILED on test 0
op.exec.........ok
.
.
op.repeat.......ok
op.s............Out of memory!
FAILED on test 40
op.sleep........ok
.
.
op.vec..........ok
op.write........ok
lib.big.........../lib/bigint.pl did not return a true value at ./lib.big line 2.
FAILED on test 0
Failed 3 tests.
*** Error code 2 (ignored)
---------------------------------------------------------
when I ran op.eval on its own it got a segmentation fault on test 7.
op.s ran out of memory at test 40. lib.big gave identical output as above.

Any ideas??

Cheers, Russell.
