subject: Bug in emx.dll ?

Philipp Thomas said to All:

 PT> can somebody verify this ? emx 0.9a seems to to have a

Post source code that demonstrates the problem you are running into and the
command line to compile it.

 PT> I'll try to recompile the library and see if that changes

I am sure Eberhard Mattes had no intention of this happening if it is
indeed a bug and will fix it very quickly if it is a bug.
