Re: Why duplicate symbols in 1.0.1 and not 1.0 ???

Tell your ld vendor that handling less that 1,000,000 characters in a
symbol name isn't useful.  :-)/2  On the otherhand, Joe Buck has a
symbol shortener that is on the right path.  Maybe someone wants to
dust it off, run it though the testsuite, and include it.
