[mercury-users] mmc on Redhat 7.3 / glibc 2.2

[Roy Ward]

It does the same for me, so it is certainly not a unique quirk of your
system :-(.

I was using gcc 2.95.3

One of my work colleagues suggested that old versions of the boehm
garbage collector don't work with recent kernels.

Can anyone suggest any workarounds? I'd really rather not have to reinstall
an older version of Linux.

Cheers,
Roy Ward.
