Hi Frank,

You got it: I use --progress-messages (Through gp). If I remove the option, gpc works without being interrupted.

Regards

I run gpc on a Sparc Solaris 10 box. As soon as the cpu gets a bit loaded gpc fails with the following

error:

...

gpc: Internal error: Alarm Clock (program gpc1) Please submit a full bug report. See URL:http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html for instructions.

If I restart it it compiles some modules and stops again (I use gp). I searched for the words 'Alarm Clock' in gpc sources with no

success so

I cannot figure what is the problem.

This message is given by the shell when a program receives a SIGALRM signal and does not handle it.

Now, gpc indeed uses this signal internally when either of the "--progress-messages" or "--progress-bar" options is used. Of course, it should handle it, but there might be a bug in this code ...

Are you using these options? If so, please try without them. If it works, we know where to look.

Frank
