That's bug #61932; it's not an endian issue, but a signed/unsigned char issue (PPC and ARM default to unsigned). Looked at slightly differently, it's a generic int->char->int cast problem, you inevitably lose data... And no, it's not been fixed!! (Even though I posted the patch over six weeks ago!!) Should I reopen that bug at priority "important" to get the maintainer's attention? > If not, how would I go about trying to fix them? The one-line patch is in my post to this list of 13 Apr 2000 16:11:53 -0000 (and in the BTS). > I don't really remember, but where else did those issues show up? I don't know of anywhere in particular, but because of the use of lexx in those packages, it may exist in some others which use that parser infrastructure... Zeen, -Adam P.
