Re: pack_list('') not returning all packages

Dear all,

Seems like, this is still broken. 

To reproduce (current pl-devel, and on the last N stables):

?- pack_list('').

[in my case]

l [email protected]            - Common db-tables-as-facts and SQL layer for ODBC and proSQLite.
i [email protected]              - Collect files and sub-directories from within a directory
l [email protected]           - An SWI-Prolog interface to SQLite
l [email protected]           - Access, cache and visualise citation relation between pubmed publication records
l [email protected]                - Integrative statistics with R
l [email protected]               - Persistent, user code inclusive, documentation server for linux

Expected:
	a full list of packages available from 
	http://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/

As noted by Ian Tegebo, only os_sub is returned by the server.
Looks like the problem is with the reply from the server.

Tested on source-built swi(s) on linux.

Regards,

Nicos Angelopoulos
