[erlang-bugs] mnesia disc_copies memory size corrupts w/HiPE 64-bit

[Anders Nygren]

Hi
Was there any resolution to this?
We are running into the same thing on Solaris 10 x86 with OTP13B02-1
32 bit

$gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs
Configured with:
/builds/sfw10-gate/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure
--prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++
--enable-shared
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)

Any chance that upgrading to R13B04 would help?

/Anders
