Subject:	1.3.12-2: bug with ar tool (Windows 200)
Date:	Thu, 10 Oct 2002 14:06:57 -0600

I've found a rather reproducible bug with the 'ar' command.  Here's the
output I get:


> ar ru tmp.a BCMip.o
BFD: BFD 2.12.90 20020706 internal error, aborting at
/netrel/src/binutils-20020
706-2/bfd/coffcode.h line 823 in handle_COMDAT

BFD: Please report this bug.


In this example, tmp.a is a dummy file that is empty.  You can download the
BCMip.o file I used from

	ftp://ftp.cs.sandia.gov/pub/papers/wehart/src/BCMip.o
      ftp://ftp.cs.sandia.gov/pub/papers/wehart/src/BCMip.cpp

I welcome any ideas about a work-around for this problem.  This file was
generated by g++, and I've seen simliar behavior on files that contain very
few items in the source file, though my header files in all cases include
lots of stuff!
