I run gpc on a Sparc Solaris 10 box. As soon as the cpu gets a bit loaded gpc fails with the following error:
gpc: Internal error: Alarm Clock (program gpc1) Please submit a full bug report. See URL:http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html for instructions.
If I restart it it compiles some modules and stops again (I use gp). I searched for the words 'Alarm Clock' in gpc sources with no success so I cannot figure what is the problem.
This message is given by the shell when a program receives a SIGALRM signal and does not handle it.
Now, gpc indeed uses this signal internally when either of the "--progress-messages" or "--progress-bar" options is used. Of course, it should handle it, but there might be a bug in this code ...
Are you using these options? If so, please try without them. If it works, we know where to look.
