Bug description

Full_Name: Samuel Mimram
Version: 3.08.1
OS: linux
Submission from: babasse.csbnet.se (193.11.251.151)

Hello,

When a file is named using an existing module name the compilation leads to a
segfaulting executable:

% cat toto.ml
let a = Array.make 10 0.0 ;;
let a = Array.append a a ;;
% ocamlopt toto.ml -o toto
% ./toto
% cp toto.ml array.ml
% ocamlopt array.ml -o array
% ./array
zsh: segmentation fault ./array

It seems that is due to the fact that ocaml's array.cmi is used at
compilation-time but my array.cmi is used when linking. Of course if I try to
compile array.ml again I get:

% ocamlopt array.ml -o array
The files array.cmi and array.cmi make inconsistent assumptions
over interface Array

Maybe it should not be considered as a bug but at least some kind of warning
would be nice.

Thanks.

Regards,

Samuel.
