There are times when it's a pain to have to be safe - people will always break the rules when they're in a hurry and the document to be sent is already in an unsafe format. But taking plain text with absolutely no formatting, in fact text which is _degenerated_ by word wrapping &c, and gratuitously putting it in a Word document is just _so_ unnecessary that I assumed it had to be a troll. > fork.c: In function Œcopy_mm¹: Given what this output's been through - I'll assume it's corrupted in transit, shall I? The kind of error you're seeing is often caused by a mismatch between compiler and kernel. As Alan suggests, you should make sure you're using a PPC-specific tree because it's not up to date in the stock 2.4.3. And make sure you're using the recommended versions of compiler and binutils. Other than that, I'm afraid I don't know. -- dwmw2
