Hi,

I'm the maintainer of smbclient for Win32
(http://main.mswinxp.net/~lpackham/smbclient/)

If I compile samba on the latest version of cygwin it now borks with a
segfault.

It appears that pointer initialisation isn't quite working correctly.

You can grab the patch for the samba source off the page above and see
what I mean.

For example:

This used to work...

char xx_blah[255];
char *blah = xx_blah;

for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
  blah[i] = 0;

It now segfaults.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks,


Lee Packham
