RE: segv at strcmp

The problem seems to be the gcc 3.2-29 we have on
United Linux 1.0. The binary built with this does not
also work on RedHat. The binary built with gcc
3.2.3-20 on Redhat works fine. 

The problem with the segv at strcpy() was due to the
unaligned size. I have attached the corrected program.

Does anybody know where i can find the latest fixpack
on United Linux 1.0?

thanks,
Umut
