Re: Problem with a C predicate and write on the output

Hi Ludovic

It's exceptionally hard to diagnose your problem from your description.
The chances are however, that your C predicate is at fault here and is
corrupting memory (most likely on the stack) resulting in a segmentation
violation. You're just lucky that write/1 works. Can I suggest you examine
your C predicate. If you're really stuck can you send over the smallest
possible compilable code fragment that manifests the problem and I'll try
and take a look...

Cheers

Andy
