Using strace -o -r hello, I get in the logs:
---->> 406 = Fork ("<NULL>'")
Invalid pagefault at 000000ec (NOTP:WRITE:USER)
Kaj: web.syllable.org is displaying an AccessDenied error message

Yes, it's Amazon S3. You need to use the official URLs: syllable.org 
or web.syllable.org/pages/index.html

Won't have time tonight for a debugging session, will look into it 
later next week.

syscalls will probably be gone soon anyway :)

How is that?

i think we'll switch to libc once dynlinking works for elf

You'll still need prolog and epilog syscalls, and I think Doc wants 
to minimise libc usage
I agree that it's almost unavoidable, though
Andreas

[1704]
what prolog/epilog syscalls?
Kaj

[1705]
exit for example
Andreas
27-May-2011
[1706]
why not use libc exit?
Kaj

Ah, you're right
Anyway, I do greatly value the capability of syscalls. I'll also 
need them for close Syllable integration
Andreas

certainly, they'll still exist
http://bolka.at/2011/tmp/world.bin
a red-generated dynamically linked binary, if someone wants to try 
on syllable :)
requires libc.so.6, calls puts and exit
ah, ignore that. need to add the alignment fix to that first

link is almost the smallest system program, apart from false
It's still 15 KB. There's a lot of GNU junk in there
Doc, the newest Syllable browser offers to download the executables, 
so it's probably a problem with the older browser. The new one is 
on your live CD, not in the 0.6.6 release
Red programs currently indeed pagefault on address 12345678
Ah, I was advised incorrectly. exit is not syscall 5, but 6
5 is indeed Fork, which crashes now
I uploaded new binaries

Yep. Thanks very much, guys. I'm very pleased with this

I've bound most high level input/output functions in my C library 
binding
So Red can now handle files
It's mostly untested, so let me know if something doesn't work
Implemented block i/o and status handling
Implemented low level byte and line i/o

Sorry guys. I worked through Friday night to have the article announce 
Lille, as well, but OSNews didn't process anything since Friday evening

OSNews: it is fantastic to be mentioned there, thank you very much 
Kaj!
The article is very well written and it is the best introduction 
to Red I have seen so far.

Nah, yours are better. :-) I'm just placing it in a context for Syllable 
and OSNews readers
If you can't think of anything to do this Sunday, you could watch 
the page counter on the Red site :-)

The resulting value type for math operators is the type of the left 
argument (an implicit type casting is operated when required).

What motivation lay behind this?
