Re: [Caml-list] segfault in simple program with 4.02 native

[Andy Ray <andy.ray@ujamjar.com>]

Hi,

A similar issue here on a Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit opam install, also using atdgen.

https://github.com/avsm/ocaml-github/issues/35

It works with ocaml 4.01 but not 4.02 and should be repeatable with
the ocaml-github 'git-jar' tool installed with opam.

Regards,
Andy
