Re: Apache Kato release - comments please

[Stuart Monteith <st...@stoo.me.uk>]

Thanks for looking at that for us, Mark.

I believe I've fixed up those files with bad EOFs now.

That sounds rather odd, the 724MB thing. I presume you are running with 
the library from the
release i.e. 32 bit linux. I would be interested to see what the Harmony 
JVM produced - I'll
speak to you and arrange for you to place the dump somewhere.


I expect I'll do another release soon. I'd like to hear from Ant or 
Robert what we should do next.

Thanks,
     Stuart
