I recompiled perl 3.0 patch level 14 on our newly installed HP/UX version 7.0 and several tests failed. We changed to version 7.0 last weekend. The previous version of perl (patch level 12) had been compiled on HP/UX 6.5 and continues to work on 7.0. I have not tried to compile perl3pl12 on HP/UX 7.0. The following tests give problems: comp.cpp: Out of memory! after ok 2 comp.script: Hangs after ok 1 cmd.while: Out of memory! after ok 19 io.fs: Segmentation fault io.inplace: Segmentation fault op.mkdir: Hangs op.stat: Hangs after ok 4 When I trace the thing with adb, it seems that perl is reading from a file on a pipe (opened by a ``). I get: str_gets, `calls' getc, which calls __filbuf, which calls __findbuf, which calls malloc. The malloc never returns, so there is apparently a problem. The problem seems to be the malloc, because it works if I use the malloc that comes with perl. -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O.

Though I didn't investigate as thoroughly as Piet did, the same 7 tests failed here. I took the suggestion of using the malloc that comes with Perl, and everything is OK. I'm satified that I have a working version of PL14, but I'd sure like to know what broke. If anyone has any ideas, please let us know.

I have the same problems with pl14 on HP/UX 6.2 (GCC1.36). Pl12 runs
fine, though.
