SYNOPSIS:
    ACE test-case Logging_Strategy_Test coredumps when linked with
    32-bit ACE 5.5.10 library on Linux

DESCRIPTION:
    Downloaded ACE 5.5.10 version for Linux and built the 32-bit
library
    successfully using CCFLAGS=-m32 option.

    While validating the library using the test-case
"Logging_Strategy_Test",
    it failed with coredump.

    However, the same test case "Logging_Strategy_Test" passed for
default
    64-bit ACE library in the same environment.

    Our application is 32-bit, hence can not use 64-bit ACE library.

    Tried ACE 5.4.3 for 32-bit library but the above test case failed
with coredump.

    The test-case build command line is as below:

        GNUmakefile:
/tmp/ACE-5.5.10/ACE_wrappers/tests/GNUmakefile.Logging_Strategy_Test
MAKEFLAGS=w

        g++ -DLINUX_X86_64_GCC -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -O3 -g -

SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
    Tried using the following in config.h, but test case coredumped in
all cases
       default definition for ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR
       #define ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR ((char *) 0x00000000) and
       #define ACE_DEFAULT_BASE_ADDR ((char *) 0x80000000)
