Some people have reported a very strange bug on Mac OS X.

After a full build of jedi :

running bin/jedi would crash but
running bin/kernel -run jedi would run ok

After some bug hunting, it seems it boils down to a bug in Gambit's new
module-name: option to compile-file-to-c. A temporary patch was pushed to
the repo until Marc can confirm / solve that this is indeed a bug in Gambit.

To fix a crashing Jedi, simply pull the latest changes from the repo, cd to
the directory containing the jedi executable and do :

kernel -compile jedi -force

In the previous message I forgot to mention that "kernel -compile jedi
-force" relies on a new -force option of the Jazz kernel.

So before running that command you will need to rebuild your kernel
with "gsc make kernel" or "gsc make jedi".

Update on this bug.

After discussing this with Marc, the bug was due to a fundamental assumption
in Gambit that every module name should be unique. When linking an
executable like jedi, the flat link file generated must be named jedi.c
hence the clash with the jedi module.

So, the patch we did to add a uniqueness prefix to compiled module names
seems not to be a patch after all but the right solution :)
