Re: [Tlf-devel] tlf & Ubuntu 9.04

[Bob Nielsen]

Hi Andy,

I tried commenting out the cluster part and tlf immediately quit with  
this message:

Reading logfile...
*** buffer overflow detected ***: tlf terminated
                                                Aborted

Joop is the Debian maintainer and I believe that Ubuntu's "universe"  
maintainers merely rebuild the packages from the Debian source.  I  
just tried tlf 0.92.2-3 on a Debian 5.0 (lenny) machine and it didn't  
have the problem.  I also compiled 0.9.30 (which I have used before)  
on the Sheevaplug and it gives the same error, so doesn't appear to  
be related to the tlf version.  I suspect the problem I am seeing is  
related to the Marvell ARM processor, not Ubuntu, but will check  
later today on a computer running Ubuntu 9.04 with an AMD Athlon CPU.
