The function modifies const char * argument string with fatal effects. Modifying the function in file libq/IIw_left.c as follows: insert the line strcpy( b_st, string ); and changing for( a_st = b_st = string; ... ) to for( a_st = b_st; ... ) solved the problem for me. I'm working on 386bsd but I suppose this error will occur on other platforms, too. Bye Uli
