[Ocaml-lib-devel] Extlib.DynArray unstable

[HENRIKSON, J. <JEFHEN@SAFECO.com>]

Hello,

I find DynArray very unstable on my machine, and will have to revert my
code back to Markus Mottl's Res library for the time being.

Just calling (of_array [||]) several times will cause a segfault on my
machine:

        Objective Caml version 3.08.1

# # #directory "+site-lib/extlib";;
# #load "extLib.cma";;
# open ExtLib;;
# DynArray.of_array [||];;
- : '_a DynArray.t =3D <abstr>
# DynArray.of_array [||];;
- : '_a DynArray.t =3D <abstr>
# DynArray.of_array [||];;
- : '_a DynArray.t =3D <abstr>
# DynArray.of_array [||];;
- : '_a DynArray.t =3D <abstr>
# DynArray.of_array [||];;

Process caml-toplevel segmentation fault

It's not completely deterministic.  It can require varying number of
calls to get the segfault but usually less than 10.  This test was
performed on Linux.  I can provide more details about the configuration
if you have trouble reproducing the problem.

Regards,
