Message-ID: <5939@blue.cis.pitt.edu> Date: 16 Mar 93 00:28:50 GMT Sender: news+@pitt.edu Organization: University of Pittsburgh Lines: 14 Originator: air@unixd2.cis.pitt.edu I'm getting frustrated. I installed the newest "latest" 84 - 110 patches and verified that the HUGE and DBL values in the headers were changed. I then installed the patch (00089) that added strtod() to atof. It still bombed with a signal 6. I tried using gcc-2.3.3. This time dumped core. I read a suggestion about disabling cache. I disabled primary and secondary cache. Still a signal 6. I really need a working strtod(). Any suggestions? Two ported programs are waiting..... Thanks! Al Rosenthal air+@pitt.edu
