Still open, I had a quick look before I went away.

A rebuild from source on my system of fb.1.0.2 did *not* seem to have
the problem.

But install from fb1.0.2 distribution did.

So it may be to do with gcc library versions, interpreting the code
changes differnetly (Paul (Reeves), do you mind telling us what system
was used to build 1.0.2).



From the diff's I did on the code, the two changes I can see that
*might* affect the problem, but did not get time to look fully at were:

1. change to // parsing for db name (as attached)

2. change the typecasting of a stdard returns to an (int) from a few
which said (byte), as attached but like:


case dtype_byte: /* byte */
- ch = va_arg (ptr, SCHAR);
+ /* ch = va_arg (ptr, SCHAR); */
+ ch = (SCHAR) va_arg (ptr, int);

(the new code is correct, the old is an error - but a compiler can be
wrong too, and this fits our error profile nicely)



Monday is the most recent I can look at it again, unfortunately Im
fairly busy at the moment.

So do we!
