That must be it! -- I use indeed the standalone mingw toolset. Thanks for pointing this out, I was already in despair trying to find the cause of the bug :-) I will try to change my setup to use the default cygwin tools. Thanks for your prompt response, All the best, Daan Leijen. ps. Would there be a workaround? wxHaskell needs the standalone mingw toolset to avoid link errors with ghc -- so it is not so convenient for me to switch between toolsets. ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
