problem with String create: setC:

[Steve Brophy]

In porting our application up to Swarm 1.3, we found a String create
line in our code which caused a core dump.  It can be worked around by
changing the zone or using a separate setC, so looked like it might be a
bug?

(We are running on Solaris)

This test program works:

#import <simtools.h>
int
main (int argc, const char **argv)
{
        id key;
        key = [String create: globalZone setC: "testing"];
}

This also works:
        key = [String create: globalZone];
        [key setC: "testing"];

And this works (different zone):
        key = [String create: scratchZone];
        [key setC: "testing"];

But this was our code:
        key = [String create: scratchZone setC: "testing"];

and causes:
        error: ComponentZone_c (instance)
        ComponentZone_c does not recognize allocBlock;
        Abort (core dumped)

thanks, Steve
