Re: Fwd: .pdpinitrc and .cssinitrc [include_paths fix!]

["Randall C. O'Reilly" <oreilly@psych.colorado.edu>]

Regarding this bug from a while back: we just upgraded our systems here to 
Fedora Core 2 with a modern gcc compiler, and encountered this bug.  Turns 
out it was a problem in cssProgSpace::GetFile() -- it was not doing the 
requisite fh.close(); fh.clear(); after the first fh.open() failed, leaving 
the bad() signal from the first failed load.

The 3.2a source code has been updated with this fix -- downloadable from:

ftp://grey.colorado.edu/pub/oreilly/pdp++/pdp++_3.2a_src.tar.gz

enjoy,

- Randy
