It is quite unfair to jump into a conversation like this and take sides without having the whole picture. Ulrich Drepper wrote several times that there's an explanation and it would require work to give it to us. Sometimes, programmers can be a bit gruff. Doesn't make them wrong :) This bug report's new-found fame is quite unfortunate but it looks like if Ulrich now takes a few minutes to educate us (and it looks like he will have to if he wishes to keep his sanity!), the whole situation can be easily defused. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4980 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
