!!! pgenc.exe fails under Windows XP !!!

Hi,

I have just found the weirdest thing about pgenc.exe. I have no logical
explanation for its behaviour except due to the (phantom?) bug in the code.
First of all I was unable to build SAP DB under Windows XP. My env is quite
alright as I have exactly the same configuration for Windows 2000 and
everything is just fine.

This is what I get trying to execute imf.pl all :

..................
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe D:\SAPDB\DevTool/bin/mfsize.pl \
 -check=no \
 -trace=none \
 gsp00.con \
 gsp00.typ
Mon Dec 30 14:20 2002  gsp00.p:
  1017     (**)
E ----------------------^--- Duplicate case labels
  1026       tsp_moveobj_ptr        = ^tsp00_MoveObj;      (* used by P\
TOC macro *)

  1036  nBufAddr    = ^tsp00_ScreenBuf;

E ----------------------^--- Duplicate case labels

COMMAND error 2

..................

This has no sense at all! After that everything is going to hell...

Going through numerous .mac and .pl files (oh boy...) I finally reached
pgenc.exe - the culprit of all this crap.

Now, call "pgenc.exe gsp00.p" under Windows 2000 and you shall get output as
a normal C file.
Then do the same under Windows XP and you shall get the above crappy dump!
The same files!
Furthermore, if you run the same thing through any "debugger" (ex: MSVC or
BoundsChecker) - IT WILL WORK!!!

Seems to me memory leak or un-initialized pointer somewhere.

Building the tools under Windows is a pain in the ass, so could you PLEASE
solve this issue ASAP, as it REALLY gets on my way. (I am on XP now)

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.
