[PPL-devel] Bug affecting PPL 0.10 on big-endian architectures

Finally ppl 0.10-2 has made its way through nearly all the build daemons (armel
is missing, but arm was ok), and only a single check fails, and it only fails on
alpha: generalizedaffineimage2 (from Octagonal_Shape) results in an uncaught
exception. See also
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=ppl&ver=0.10-2&arch=alpha&file=log

Do you have access to an alpha machine or can you tell from the source what
could be going wrong there? Of course, it may also be an architecture-specific
compiler problem ... 

If you need any help, just contact me.

Best,
Michael
