Subject:INVALID ARRAY SUBSCRIPT leads to Pop core dump 
From:lucb 
Volume-ID:1030101.02 

I've been mucking about with arrays and happened upon an INVALID ARRAY 
SUBSCRIPT situation that caused a  core dump. With some experimentation 
I was able to reproduce the problem (and unfortunately lost most 
transcripts). But the following  reliably gives me a core dump:

: newarray([-5 0 10 15])->b;
: b(4)=>
;;; MISHAP - INVALID ARRAY SUBSCRIPT
  ;;; INVOLVING:  4
Segmentation fault
                   [lucb@p3 v15.53]$

Obviously, it's a silly thing to do.

For me this isn't an urgent problem. And I haven't tried to dig behind 
the scenes yet. Just mentioning it.

Pentium III running Mandrake 9.0 Linux workstation.
Poplog: linux.poplog.V15.53 without motif.

I assume this is not something that happens on other combinations of 
hardware and OS.

Happy 2003.
