[Tiny-cobol-users] Help required with Compiler crash

[Jim M. <ji...@by...>]

I have a program that crashes with a Segmentation error.
(I have checked it carefully for unbalanced Quotes this time =EF=81=8A )

I compiled it on Red Hat Linux using TC version 0.62.0
I compiled it with the following command:

htcobol -c -g -t -C -D -F -P -I $COBCPY -I $IO gltest.cbl

I tracked the problem back to the statement =E2=80=9CCOPY GLBAL-IO-WS=E2=80=
=9D.

If I comment out this COPY statement, then the program compiles.
If I leave the COPY statement in the program, but delete every single=20
line from the copybook (so it is empty) then the compiler crashes.
If I rename another copybook (one that compiles) to GLBAL-IO-WS, then it=20
crashes.

If I rename GLBAL-IO-WS to STUFF2, then the program compiles.

I deleted every line I could to come up with a small example. Attached=20
is the result. It has two copybooks =E2=80=93 the offending GLBAL-IO-WS a=
nd=20
=E2=80=9CSTUFF=E2=80=9D. If the copybook =E2=80=9CSTUFF=E2=80=9D is remov=
ed, the compiler works and=20
reports an error. If STUFF is present, the compiler crashes.

I have attached gltest.cbl, STUFF and GLBAL-IO-WS

Any ideas?
