RE: GNU Assembler

[Hotra, Jason]

Additionally, I have been able to narrow down this bug. It appears that it
is the name of the .s file which causes the problem. The file which we are
attempting to assemble is 104 bytes long with file extension.

/home/jahotra/cvs/MAIN/i_will_fail_you/Celox_48000/src/lc_mppu/p750_env/asic
_run_time/interrupt_vecto.s

If I was to add the letter 'r' to the end of this file name, it would give
me a segmentation fault.
