The new Csound versions are tantalising.  I am
feeling left behind however, (at V3.44) because
Csound won't work for me anymore on my Linux
box.  

It is that problem concerning table sizes
reported in the score.srt.  A size of 16384
for instance, might report 16383.99465 (no
Pentium here), and the resultant score will 
fail.

Here is a snip of list discussion:

Also, Cscore has been broken for quite a time.
It has to do with that 'dribble printf' macro
I guess.

Has anyone else using Linux experienced/solved
these anomalies?

I haven't looked at the code. But it looks like Csound is using floats for
table sizes, doesn't it. This is bad.
