Some time since I heared anything on this thread. So I'll assume it's
fixed in the latest snapshot.

Otherwise I have this sscanf() bug (?) that's causing me trouble.
Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  int  rc;
  char *url = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : "";
  char proto[64] = "";
  char host[512] = "";
  char path[512] = "";

  rc = sscanf (url, "%64[^:]://%512[^/?]%512s",
               proto, host, path);
  printf ("sscanf(): %d, proto `%s', host `%s', path `%s'\n",
          rc, proto, host, path);
  return (0);
}
----------------------

For "scanf.exe http://host", this prints
sscanf(): -1, proto `http', host `host', path `'

I'd expected rc == 2. As djgpp 2.03, HighC and Watcom returns.

My doscanf.c is dated 23 Nov 2003 (from 2.04 beta 1 I believe)
Is there a fixed newer version somewhere?

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~ams/djgpp/cvs/djgpp/src/libc/ansi/stdio/doscan.c
has a date of 24 Nov 2003.
