It is also inconsistent with that used in makefile.bc (1f0001), which presumably uses hex by default. When building and testing tcl8.3.3 under mingw I ran into similar problem (using Mumit's diff for 8.3). The socket.test would hang with stack=0x2300000 but worked fine when I changed stacksize to something more reasonable (for my machine at least) ie. 0x231860. And that triggers a question which I will raise also in binutils list: Why is default reserved stacksize set so high (0x02000000) by ld in pe.em? Danny PS I would report this to tcl also, but new logon registrations are disabled during their move to new host. _____________________________________________________________________________ http://store.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
