I'm the fool who forwarded James Bonfield's note on the -d thing to Eric Allman. James didn'd say anything about V8, so I tried it on the brand new 8.6.6, and oh disaster, it broke... So I reported it right away to Eric. I then talked to people who have been longer than me at INRIA, and I learned that this bug was originally found by R. Ehrlich when the Morris worm stroke! F. Dupont then ask P. Pomes to correct it in the IDA version. This goes back to 1988... quiet an old bug! - Alain. ============================================================================= Alain DURAND | | I.N.R.I.A. | Preserve the wild open spaces | This Institut National de Recherche | | place en Informatique et en Automatique |-------------------------------| is not B.P. 105 / 78153 Le Chesnay CEDEX | E-Mail: Alain.Durand@inria.fr | for France | Phone: +33 1 39 63 53 93 | rent postmaster@inria.fr | Fax: +33 1 39 63 53 30 | =============================================================================
