Bugs Fixed

• The Windows installer would not install the Emacs setup file.
• Under Windows and x86 Linux, a number of problems related to floating point processing caused by non-standard C compiler floating point optimizations. Symptoms include memory access errors and incorrect printing of some numbers, e.g. 3.1E11.
• Ill-formatted output in response to the debugger's g (print ancestor goals) command.
• Memory allocation bug in the Visual Basic interface.
• Due to a change in Linux kernels newer than 2.4.9 it was not possible to start more than one SICStus run-time in the same process. Linux distributions affected include Red Hat 7.3 and later (but not Red Hat 7.2).
• Under UNIX, a blocking socket:socket_accept/[2,3] is now interruptible with ^C (SIGINT). Other signal handlers installed with SP_signal() will also run immediately if the signal arrives during a blocking socket accept operation.
• Work around a problem with the system call inet_ntoa that affected several predicates in library(sockets). The problem affected IRIX and on 64bit AIX.
• format/[2,3] could intercept resource errors and report them as consistency errors; the "print float" formats were poorly documented.
• save_program/[1,2] had a memory leak, which could cause crashes.
• library(clpfd):
  • Arithmetic constraints could cause infinite loops.
  • in/2 and in_set/2 could silently fail or succeed when they should raise a type or representation error.
  • fdbg_start_labeling/1 was missing.
  • Bad Prolog term could arise from very large domains.
• library(chr):
  • Attempted removal of attribute or constraint that is already gone would cause failure.
• Jasper: The implementation of newObjectTerm(Object obj) in multi-threaded Jasper caused a NullPointerException: Creating or accessing SPTerm in wrong thread. (IllegalCallerException in disguise.)
• Jasper: Exceptions are now propagated properly from Prolog to Java. This has never worked as intended before.
• The Gauge profiling tool was broken.
• library(fastrw): fast_read/2 after peek_byte/2 and friends on the same stream did not work.
• Mac OS X load_foreign_resource/1 would report run-time linker errors incorrectly.
