re: glib error in solaris 9 (and 8)

[Scott Weil <Sweil kinzan com>]

Has anyone got an answer for this one?  Im having the same problem with
Solaris 8 (sparc).  When I run a make check the strfunc-test fails.

I'm in the process of testing Gnome 2.2 on Solaris 8 and 9 (X86) and 
I've run into a problem.

I've run a make check on both OS's, and i'm getting different results:

Solaris 8/X86 (gcc-3.2.1, sun ld and as)  - 1 test failure:

(strfunc-test.c:449) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (buf, 0, "%s", "abc")
(strfunc-test.c:450) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (NULL,0, "%s", "abc")
FAIL: strfunc-test
PASS: string-test

However, I'm getting 2 test failures on
Solaris 9/X86 (gcc-3.2.1, sun ld and as)

(strfunc-test.c:449) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (buf, 0, "%s", "abc")
(strfunc-test.c:450) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (NULL,0, "%s", "abc")
FAIL: strfunc-test
FAIL: string-test

I'm not sure what's wrong, as string-test just core's out, and I've got 
to build gdb to
debug it, however, using the same code base, I can get Gnome-2.2 to come 
up on
Solaris 8, and it crashes out with a glib core (the description from the 
core file)
on Solaris 9.
