gcjh 3.4.3 chokes on multiargs

Thu Apr 21 11:00:00 GMT 2005

I've verified that gcjh 3.4.3 sometime produces
malformed headers when fed with multi args.
I didn't make a small test case, sorry, but I'm afraid
attempting at it would be hard as one of the choking
condition is arguments order. But you can test it
using a CVS snapshot of JTS:
cvs -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.jump-project.org:/home/cvs/jts login
password: cvs
cvs -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.jump-project.org:/home/cvs/jts co jts
cd jts/libjts
./configure
make
This should work as gcjh invocation is made using xargs to
provide one arg at time, but if you edit the Makefile
and change xargs -n1 to xargs -n10 things won't work
(make clean first!).
Note that xargs -n10 works changing the order of arguments,
(if you're interested I can provide a file that when included
by the Makefile provides working order of args).
Questions are:
	- Can you reproduce the bug ?
	- Is it a bug ?
	- Is the bug still present with 4.0 ?
TIA
