glLinkProgramARB hangs

I was playing with my shaders without any problem when I modified one of my fragment shader a little bit and it caused glLinkProgramARB to never return. I copy my shader hereafter to see if you find any problem.

It is interesting that if I remove any of the executable lines from my “main” function, the link operation would work fine.

The info log returns no error, I’m using a GeForce FX 6800 Ultra with the driver 71.89. I tried more recent beta drivers with the same result.

Anybody seen this before or now what’s wrong?

I’ve reproduced the problem with Cg. It cames to the abuse of reusing gl_FragColor. Uses a temporary variable instead.
Try this

  
/*sFSPlastic*/
void main(void)
{ 
vec4 FragColor;
FragColor = gl_Color;
/*sFSHPClouds*/
vec4 HPTexColor = texture2D(nTextIdx3, vec2(gl_TexCoord[3]));
FragColor = mix(FragColor, cloudColor, HPTexColor);
/*sFSSun*/
vec3 sunColor;
sunColor = fSunColor / fMaxIntensity;
float fDist = distance(vec2(gl_FragCoord), sunPosScreen);
float sunProp = min(max(fDist-fSunCoreRadius,0.)/fSunHaloRadius,1.);
FragColor.rgb = mix(sunColor,FragColor.rgb, sunProp);
float f2ndDiskInt = max(sin(min(fDist,1.5*fSun2ndDiskRadius)*1.57/(1.1*fSun2ndDiskRadius))-0.998, 0.)*1./(1.-0.998);
FragColor.rgb = mix(FragColor.rgb, sunColor, fSun2ndDiskInt*f2ndDiskInt);
float fTheta = atan(gl_FragCoord.y-sunPosScreen.y, gl_FragCoord.x-sunPosScreen.x);
float fSpikesInt = abs(sin (fNumRays*fTheta));
fSpikesInt = pow(fSpikesInt, 575.);
fSpikesInt *= pow(fSunRaysRadius*(abs(sin(5.*fTheta))+0.2)/fDist, 3.);
FragColor.rgb = mix(FragColor.rgb, sunColor, fSpikesInt*fSunRaysInt);
fnFog();
FragColor.rgb = mix(FragColor.rgb, mixFogColor.rgb, fFogProp);
/*sColorLimitedEnd*/
FragColor.rgb *= fMaxIntensity;
gl_FragColor = FragColor;
}

Really? That’s interesting. Do you have any idea on why reusing the same label multiple times would be a problem?
