[Cygwin] MPQS broken

[Karim BELABAS <Karim.Belabas@math.u-psud.fr>]

Hi,

  I have just received a bug report that MPQS is completely broken under
Cygwin, at least compiled with gcc-3.2 (that's my XP binary, as available
in parigp-home.de's download area :-(). I can reproduce it on our Windows
box (XP), and of course nowhere else.

Any invocation of mpqs(), e.g as in

  factor(2^(2^7) + 1)

causes a SEGV in mpqs.c:mpqs_mergesort_lp_file0(), more precisely in the first
fgets() [ line 400 ], within memcpy() in cygwin1.dll.

This only occurs with -fomit-frame-pointer, at -O2 or higher so it doesn't
look like cygwin1.dll is to blame. It's independant of GCC_INLINE and works
flawlessly at -O1, or without -fomit-frame-pointer.

I have absolutely no clue as to what could cause the bug. Just in case,
I have extended the size of some static arrays, e.g

  line[MPQS_STRING_LENGTH] --> line[MPQS_STRING_LENGTH + 1024]

to no avail. At least the bug doesn't go away when I add printf calls
around.

Any idea ???

    Karim.
