If the variable is referenced in the program itself we get a copy relocation (this is why you are seeing the message above). If now, as in this case, the new variable size is larger it means that the library overwrites other data in the program. We have to find a way to not increase the _res size. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
