Found the problem causing the segment violation and probably causing Jonas Eriksson's problem. It is a typical case of 'off by 1'. In PickView::set_headers the loop filling the window header does one iteration too much, resulting in a call to DoInsertItem with a NULL string pointer and hence a crash following. While debugging this I could not compile the new mklink2.cc ( the c++ version of the original mklink2.c). It seems three & (address of operator) have disappeared in the transition. Putting them back made the compiler happy. Is this OK Robert ?
Changelog 2002-03-27 Ton van Overbeek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * Pickview.cc (PickView::set_headers) Correct loop count for DoInsertItem. * mklink2.cc (make_link_2) Reinsert three & operators which got lost in the c -> c++ transition. Patch in attached file. Ton van Overbeek
