Re: Crash when trying to run Udanax Green

OK,

Looked at tumble.c and reverted the code to this:

/* ---------------- Routines to test tumblers -------------- */

  bool
tumblereq (a,b)
  tumbler *a,*b;
{
  register char *aptr = (char *) a; /*char * for cheating in compare loop*/
  register char *bptr = (char *) b;
  register INT i;
       return (tumblercmp (aptr, bptr) == EQUAL);// old safe & slow//
/* could speed up by doing comparison directly or stealing from abscmp
        i = (int)aptr+sizeof(tumbler);
        for (;((int)aptr)<i;){
                if(*aptr++ != *bptr++)
                        return(FALSE);
        }
        return (TRUE);
*/
}

Now I get:

# gdb ./backend -c ./backend.core
