It's not that. It's this:

Code:
int gensock_getchar (int st, int wait, char * ch)
{
   int retval = 0;
   connection *conn;

   conn = (connection *)st;

   if ((retval = conn->cc_getchar(wait, ch)))
      return (retval);
   else
      return (0);
}

In windows 32-bit, that's works, because an "int" contains enough bits to hold a "void *". They're in fact the same, 32 bits. This is a bad habit because it's never safe to assume that an int is large enough everywhere. On many 64-bit platforms, including Linux and Windows and maybe AIX(what did that code print? are int and void * different sizes or not?), an int would be 32-bit and a pointer would be 64-bit. Cramming a pointer into an integer would mangle it beyond use.

This code was obviously written with the assumption that sizeof(int) == sizeof(void *). I suspect this isn't true anymore, but yog only knows what depended on it!

I think some pointers elsewhere must have already been mangled, and you're only noticing strange things happening long after the actual mistake. This is why you're getting weird crashes in harmless places -- that pointer got mangled, so when you try to read or modify a member, it tries to use invalid memory and crashes. Variables not doing what you expect -- what is it truly pointing to now? etc.

Of course, I could be wrong, and there could be other reasons.

None of which I can tell without seeing the code. I can't answer definitively until you post the parts I asked for, and maybe not even then.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Ns_ConnGetStatus, Ns_ConnSetStatus - Routines to manage the HTTP response status SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h" int Ns_ConnGetStatus(conn) void Ns_ConnSetStatus(conn, status) ARGUMENTS
Ns_Conn conn (in) Pointer to open connection. int status (in) Integer HTTP status code. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
These routines manage the HTTP response code sent to the client in a later call to Ns_ConnFlush or Ns_ConnFlushDirect. Higher level rou- tines such as the Ns_ConnReturn functions normally call these routines automatically using standard HTTP status codes and the Ns_ConnQueue- Headers routine can be used to set the status code for lower level code which bypasses Ns_ConnFlush. int Ns_ConnGetStatus(conn) Return the current HTTP status to be sent. int Ns_ConnSetStatus(conn, status) Set the status code to be sent in the response, for example, 200 for a normal "OK" response. A later call to Ns_ConnFlush will con- struct the appropriate HTTP response including the given status with the cooresponding string status code. EXAMPLES
The following example demonstrates setting an odd status code followed by a call to Ns_ConnFlushDirect to send some data: Ns_ConnSetStatus(conn, 600); Ns_ConnSetType(conn, "text/plain"); Ns_ConnFlushDirect(conn, "hello", 5, 0); The following should provide similar results: Ns_ConnSetRequiredHeaders(conn, "text/plain", 5); Ns_ConnQueueHeaders(conn, 600); Ns_ConnPuts(conn, "hello"); Ns_ConnClose(conn); SEE ALSO
