Hi!

Dave, I appreciate to hear about this, at least the first part of the sentence. ;-)
Dave> [...detailed problem description...] Dave> Is this a bug in the library, or my code ?

It's a bug in the library, that is hopefully fixed by the attached patch, which is also in the CVS repository.
Your second program probably just did not fail on it, because of a less determistic and more fortunate memory allocation layout. ;-)
Maybe, I should play with dmalloc again...

checkObjects() is called unconditionally at the `END' of each parsed module. I cannot explain why you did not see it called from your simple test program.
