I've checked, and see that Debian has a number patches for this and related issues, but I'm a bit out of my depth here (and don't have arm or mips systems to test before submitting any patches). What are the options? It would take me quite a bit of time to understand the Debian patches and see what we need. Ideally, HDF4 maintainers would fix this in a future release. I can try to contact them. cheers, Thomas
