Me too, after I deleted my old local xv binary.

Hmm, I guess someone made a mistake while making the xv-3.10a-jumbo-enh-patch-20050501.txt
diff for xvbrowse.c:

+#ifdef AUTO_EXPAND
+    Dirtovd(thFname);
+#  ifdef VIRTUAL_TD
+    if (mkdir(thFname, (mode_t) perm) < 0)
+      Mkvdir_force(thFname);
+#  else
     mkdir(thFname, (mode_t) perm);
+#  endif
+#endif

Can you spot the error?


Note: I think we don't define AUTO_EXPAND.

config.h only defines VIRTUAL_TD if AUTO_EXPAND is defined. So the above patch
could be simplified:

+#ifdef AUTO_EXPAND
+    Dirtovd(thFname);
+#endif
+#ifdef VIRTUAL_TD
+    if (mkdir(thFname, (mode_t) perm) < 0)
+      Mkvdir_force(thFname);
+#else
     mkdir(thFname, (mode_t) perm);
+#endif

Aehm, hmm, wasn't it you Havard, who added this jumbo patch?
