System: NetBSD duhnet.net 1.4B NetBSD 1.4B (DUH) #1: Fri May 7 15:41:21 EDT 1999 tv@duhnet.net:/usr/SRC/netbsd/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/DUH alpha
>Description:
The RealServer G2 (6.0) receives a SIGILL thanks to:
0x12000f4a8 (main+280): ldwu a0,32(t0)
which cgd tells me is a BWX instruction which my 21064A (comes with my
AS200/233) does not implement. (Much thanks to gdb accepting ECOFF DU
binaries without incident, except a nit where you have to `continue' after
the first SIGTRAP. :)
>How-To-Repeat:
Run g2p3-digitalunix-4_0.bin on -current alpha with COMPAT_OSF1.
Ask for where to get this binary; NetBSD developers can find it in my home
directory (~tv) on ftp.netbsd.org.
>Fix:
Emulate ldwu in software ... ::shiver::
