ok larry, you were right, almost. patchlevel 15 solved my problem as far as the tests are concerned, but i did have to remove your malloc(). with the system malloc, all tests passed. with the malloc included with perl, the man creation dumps core again. since the project i am on has to do with memory allocation problems under HP/ux on the 800 series, i can legitimately do this one on the job. i will send along my findings as soon as i trace it. but for now ---> on hp/ux pre-7.0 on series 800 machines===> -DJMPCLOBBER --- in Configure additional cc flags for syscall() bug malloc() --- use system malloc(), or testmalloc distribution memory --- have lots, or compile at night, eval.c eats up about 25Meg with -O. if you want it, i can send out a uuencoded eval.o with full optimization TOROL --- try out Randal's one liners 8-) bill. PS - thanks larry!!
