And kindof broken. Two things in particular: 1) It pauses insisting that I hit return to continue. It did not do that before. 2) It has strange garbage in the output, look: Starting program: /home/nbecker/TES/Test14 Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- arg-name-end =0xbffffd24) at Test14.cc:23 Jan> Do you have the Sun package installed?
