Re: [Jython-users] Strange syntax errors in lib on Mac

[Frode R. <fro...@er...>]

Hi Kent,

This is because a bug in MRJ. Some time it return wrong number of byte read
from the file. Finn have add a workaround to the CVS version. I have not get
time to test the CVS version. I have made my own hack on Jython 2.0 to be
able to run it. Are you not able to run the CVS version send me a mail and I
can send you my hack.
