Of course. I didn't find any such binary API problem in my tests. I usually test perl for weeks until I release it. But soon after I released it, we found out that some old XS modules did not= work anymore and had to be recompiled. I haven't yet found out why exactly. Debugging on cygwin is certainly difficult compared to linux, where I do have access to all stack params and symbols in shared libs, and can reliably set breakpoints in shared libs. Even if I use gdb-7 it does not work most of the time. --=20 Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0=A0 http://murbreak.at/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
