- Yeap. When I ran into this problem, I asked this one to Chet Ramey
- <chet@po.CWRU.Edu> and Brian Fox <bfox@ai.mit.edu>, both bash-maintainers.
-
- The cause of this problem is alloca(). The alloca() for HP-UX 8.0 is broken,
- so you should NOT use the alloca supplied in the library.
-
- The way to do this is to edit machines.h and to undefine HAVE_ALLOCA.
- Recompile and all is fine.
-
- Please contact me by e-mail if you still run into trouble.
