#772 writefile on GCL puts newlines in wrong places

[Robert Dodier]

writefile on GCL puts newlines in wrong places.

looks like it's lacking a newline between the %i
print-out and the %o print-out, and it has an extra
newline after (%i) label and before the %i print-out.

5.9.1cvs + gcl 2.6.6 on linux.
not observed with 5.9.1cvs + clisp 2.33.

e.g.

[robert@chromium tmp]$ cat foo.tmp2

Starts dribbling to tmp/foo.tmp2 (2005/8/27,
9:34:21).(%o2) false

This appears to be a bug in gcl's DRIBBLE function. I've
reported the DRIBBLE problem as bug #14367
(http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gcl). Marked it as
"pending" for later followup.

Under Maxima 5.37.2, GCL 2.6.12, this bug is still present.
The ticket by GCL 14367 says that it was fixed at GCL 2.6.10, thus am not sure why it is still here.

[Robert Dodier]

Reopening this ticket as "maybe fixed" for review; it was closed automatically by the bug tracker some time ago, but we should see if it's actually fixed.
