Funny thing happened today. I tried building DMD from source, and got this:

dmd: libelf.c:171: void OmToHeader(Header*, ObjModule*): Assertion `len <= 6' failed.

Digging around, and it appears that my user ID can only be 6 characters long. Doh! I happen to be on a RHEL 6 workstation that can authenticate users via a Windows Domain Controller (using samba + winbind). My smb.conf looks has these two lines:

   idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
   idmap gid = 16777216-33554431

Which is to say "If a uid or gid appears on the system, use winbind to resolve to a name".

On my machine, my user looks like this:
[kai.meyer@kai-rhel6 BUILD]$ id
uid=16777216(kai.meyer) gid=16777221(domain users) groups=16777221(domain users),16777223(SENSORED),16777224(SENSORED),16777225(SENSORED),16777226(SENSORED)

That's right. My UID is 8 characters long.

Are we interested in accommodating UID and GID's that are this big?

An old bug (e.g. http://www.mail-archive.com/dmd-internals@puremagic.com/msg00402.html). The 'uid' > 6 digit problem has been worked-around, but the 'gid' hasn't.

On the bright side, the rpm builds on RHEL6 with no problems if I build it with a UID/GID of 500 :)
