The problem is that compiliing some ocaml source files using camlp4o
as a preprocessor fails when /tmp or $TMPDIR is mounted in text mode.
I attached such a source file to my previous email.  If that
attachment didn't make it to the list, it is the file sqlite.ml from
http://neugierig.org/software/ocaml/sqlite/ocaml-sqlite-0.3.5.tar.bz2.

To reproduce the problem, compile the file with the command ``ocamlc
-pp camlp4o sqlite.ml''.  The failure I see is the message ``Fatal
error: exception Failure("input_value: integer too large")'' and no
.cmo file produced.  This only happens if /tmp is mounted in text
mode.  If it is mounted in binary mode then the compilation completes
successfully.

Ah, versions, sorry.

O/S: Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2
Cygwin DLL: 1.5.14

Thanks for your attention.

Toby.
