I think the pdump-forced setting of ordinary link needs set the ORDINARY_LINK preprocessor symbol too. Jan P.S. Do we need data_start at all when pdump-ing?

Ouch, that hurts. Andreas you are right, this is a problem in XEmacs 21.1.10, BUT NOT in 21.2-b33 NOR the latest 21.2 CVS sources. Thanks for separating my forest from my trees. I might have even introduced that bug with my call-process fixes to close handles on NT in XEmacs 21.1.10. I have further diagnosed symptom. The problem seems to appear if there is still a lot of lisp code to be read from the file after calling (call-process ...) to initialize a variable. Moving these variable initializations towards EOF makes the problem go away. To demonstrate my weird theory, this patch against compile.el as of the latest incoming package xemacs-base 1.38 works fine with XEmacs 21.1.10. Needless to say I don't consider this as a solution.

pcl-cvs 1.46 and native Windows XEmacs 23 years, 11 months

Mike Alexander

I tried out the new version of pcl-cvs mentioned in <http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-beta/200005/msg00317.html> and it doesn't work right in the native Windows version of XEmacs unless you set directory-sep-char to ?/ before using it. This seems to be because it uses file-name-as-directory in various places and this appends directory-sep-char to the name if it isn't already there. Since path names coming back from the CVS server use "/" as a directory separator, this means that paths created using file-name-as-directory don't match paths coming back from the server and the sorting of the result of cvs-parse-buffer doesn't put things in the order expected. One obvious solution is to temporarily change directory-sep-char whenever pcl-cvs is parsing things, but there may be a better way to fix it. For some reason the previous version of this package didn't seem to have this problem. I haven't looked into why not. Mike
