I couldn't reproduce this.
I was on 2.0.21, libc 5.3.12. Patched to 2.0.23 and rebuilt - The binary compiled under 2.0.21 is byte-for-byte identical with that under 2.0.23, and they both produce the same output as well ("1").
I don't know what it is, but (at least for me) the kernel seems fine. You may want to compare this:
pc1:/home/mike> md5sum /usr/include/ctype.h 100ccf9019f090229cb33b7275c241a2 /usr/include/ctype.h
with your system, but that's my best (and only) guess I'm afraid.
Cheers... Mike

We got a problem here, I do not know if it is a kernel bug, but it started happening after an update from 2.0.21 to 2.0.23, and the only thing changed on that machine is the kernel. # include <ctype.h> main() { int c; c = 'e'; printf("%d\n", isalnum(c)); } Should produce 1, did so with 2.0.21, produces 0 on 23. I would appreciate help in this matter via email, its a production machine and we need it, and rebooting is not easy because of long running jobs.. add. info: libc-5.4.7 but it worked fine with 5.4.7 and kernel 21 Olaf -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Olaf Schnapauff, Mountain View Towers #8427, Logan Utah 84321, USA phone (801) 797-6123, email slcdb@sys3.cs.usu.edu (alternatives if needed: olaf@slcdb.dorms.usu.edu, o.schnapauff@tu-bs.de, slcdb@cc.usu.edu) WWW http://cc.usu.edu/~slcdb/ Utah State University, Department of Computer Science -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
