GNU-Emacs 18.54 *BUG* report:
Machine: Prime EXL 316, 8 megs RAM
OS: Unix V 3.0
GNU-Emacs version: 18.54
File: etags.c
Problem: Compiler bombs with following error:
"etags.c", line 1555. compiler error: allocation fails, op STAR
line 1555 is:
buffer = (char *) xrealloc (buffer, linebuffer->size *= 2);
Solution: Break up line, compiler took it OK.
linebuffer->size *=2;
buffer = (char *) xrealloc (buffer, linebuffer->size);
That was only install problem. GNU-Emacs works like a champ! Thanks to all!
(OK, so it's a compiler bug. I *did* try retuning the kernel, even running
it thru cc when UNIX was in single user run level -- same error.)
