RE: Assert failed in schema_init.c (ITS#1270)

[jreich@traffion.com]

Kinda OT, but what is the status on implementing a float type to the
core schema ? 
Is the proposal making its way through IETF drafts ? 
I have seen some hacks using a bogus OID ending in .59, but I'd
obviously prefer to use an 'official' schema element.

Thanks,

Joshua Reich.

The assertions are wrong. Note they're comparing memory addresses on two

chunks of memory that were allocated separately. Remove/comment out the 
assertions and recompile. Or grab OPENDLAP_REL_ENG_2 from CVS, as it has

completely rewritten the function with the bad assertions, and soon
should
be released as 2.0.12.
