[Caml-list] Multithreading and marshalling

[Caml-list] Multithreading and marshalling

[Alessandro Baretta]

Is there any known quirk between multithreading (bytecode 
version) and marshalling? I ask because after adding 
multithreading support to xcaml I have started to get 
segmentation faults upon accessing data marshalled to disk 
by a previous execution of xcaml.

There is a known bug with demarshalling of big values (more than 16
megabytes) and compaction (PR#1495).  A patch (against 3.06) is at
< http://caml.inria.fr/patches/pr1495-patch.txt >.
If you have another bug, we are interested in a piece of code to
reproduce the crash.
