Subject: runtime error under Mac OS X 10.2 
I have been trying to build and run elog under Mac OS  X 10.2.6, without sucess.  I 
understand that this is not one of the 'supported' platforms, but I hope that there is someone   
here who might know the work-around to my problem.

I've tried building elog 2.2.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7, and 2.3.8.  I've tried using the compiler that comes 
in the Mac OS X 10.2 box, as well as the gcc-based compiler supplied in Apple's Dec 2002 
developer update (gcc 3.1), and the June '03 update as well (gcc 3.3).

elog builds without error in all cases I tried.

When I run it, it will correctly serve the demo notebook.  However, when the user clicks on the 
test message to display it in full, there is a seg fault.

I suspect that the trouble might be with something defined in time.h.

I've run it in gdb, and the result is appended to this message.  This is for gcc 3.3 and elog 
2.3.8.


I would greatly appreciate any hints or suggestions.

Cheers, Joe
