We posted a bug report and core stack trace to PLT regarding the segfaults and socket disconnects we were receiving, but it was closed as being an "os problem". However, since that environment runs several applications written in various versions each of Common Lisp, Haskell, and OCaml -- all without a single segfault or other serious failure -- we had to dump PLT Scheme. Too bad. We did like PLT Scheme, but business demanded that we move on. Regards, Mike </pre> </body> </html>
