[PD-dev] ugly segfaults with external...

[=?X-UNKNOWN?Q?g=FCnter_geiger?=]

Dear Ben,

scanning trought the code I couldn't find any strange things. Instead of
being useful on this side, I have a suggestion that would make tracking
down these things easier. That is ... :)

Is it possible to put this in the pure-date CVS ?

The advantage in this case would be that
1) you just tell your problem on the list, no need of gdb dumps, cleaned
up code examples, etc ...
2) everyone working with the CVS will have your code automatically through
the cvs upgrade command and can test it immediately, and if there is a bug
it can be fixed directly.
3) We dont have to copy/paste the code and write a makefile to compile and
look what it does

Well, thats all of the propaganda, if  there are things that speak against
it, please let me know.

Greetings,

Guenter
