Bug free, baby!

Been working with my new toy: the Tiger recently. I was having a lot of fun with it, until I wanna put the program that I wrote for my research on it. It's an ANSI C program successfully compiled with gcc-3.2 with Linux and Solaris before. But how come it wont compile under gcc-4.0 with Tiger now? How come I keep getting the "Bus error".

Well, it turns out Tiger has a even more strict memory policy than Linux (kernel 2.6r12), or Solaris. I had to spend 3 days looking for the memory allocation problem that I never had before. Man!

So, I guess I should celebrate a bit with a drink now, since I finally can port all my stuff (well, work stuff) onto my Tiger! Hooray!

BTW, anyone has suggestion for a good text editor for Mac OS? I need it for development for C, shell script, make file, verilog HDL. I love Ultraedit under Windows b4, anything that has similar functionality?
