Subject: Solaris 8-10: data types: stronger as Linux and Windows ?

Hi,

well i found a bug in my engine. I declare the boolean variable "stop_search" in
search.c. I made the error that i call this variable as "extern int stop_search"
from other files.

Interesting:
- No compiler found this error (gcc, icc, vc 6.0  (also solaris))
- On Windows and Linux(!) the engine runs without any problems.

Expect Solaris 8-10 (Sparc) family created a "segmentation fault" at first
access.

How is this possible ? Why other plattforms and compiler ignored this problem ?
I only do a read access of this extern variable.

Best,
Daniel
