Re: [Caml-list] Bugfix for ocaml-3.05 problem (was: recompiling ocamlnet & PXP with 3.05)

["Alexander V. Voinov" <avv@quasar.ipa.nw.ru>]

Hi Gerd,

It helped with the first part of the problem below (on Linux). But under
Solaris it still crashes at:

ocamlfind ocamlc -g  -package "unix pcre" -thread -c netstring_pcre.mli

Unfortunately this moment I can't spend enough time to trace it within
the compiler.
