Pavel,

	I am glad to have been of help finding this bug.  However, a quick
question if I may.

	The file version.cc.  Is this part of the setup.exe source files
in http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cinstall/?cvsroot=src?

	If so, what is the compiler used for it?  I assume it is GNU C++ for
DOS/Windows? (from a comment in main.cc)  What version is it?  Where can you
get this compiler?

	Can anyone check out this code?  Is it on Sourceforge?  It might be fun
to look at the code, and see if I could figure out what is going on
with the source code install (my 2nd problem).

Thanks the help in advance.

RJ

Hello, there! :)

Ok, found it - its canonicalize_version() in version.cc. There is
a pointer 'v' which is modified and then delete[]'d.

A trivial patch is attached :)

            * version.cc (canonicalize_version): Fix a call delete[]
            to delete.
