Problems with Patchlevel 70 ( LONG )

#4990

Hello !
I must have missed the announce of patchlevel 70,
because I found it yesterday on our FTP-Server.
I compiled it on a Linux box and got the following
problems.
/* Gnu CC 2.5.8 Standard Options as Shipped */

With HISTORY enabled I got a core dump.
Compared to a patched PL 69, Patchlevel 70 is faster
and searches not so much positions.
BTW Anyone has the same problems ??
Thanks for your Help
Bye Thomas

Compared to a patched Patchlevel 69, the nodecount is
smaller and the search is faster.
