System: NetBSD dunno 1.4K NetBSD 1.4K (SATELLITE) #0: Thu Oct 21 10:53:29 MST 1999 root@dunno:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SATELLITE i386


>Description:
I installed the snapshot, and generic kernel available on the FTP site.
I also installed the navogator3 pkg from pkgsrc.

I then attempted to load a page with java on it, and got an annoying
message about my CLASSPATH being set wrong.  After verifying that I was
not out of my gourd (iit works fine on my 1.3 machine), I ktraced it
and noticed it was looking for the java files in /emul.

Removing COMPAT_AOUT from the kernel makes java in netscape function
perfectly again.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Install ELF i386 kernel and userland.
install navigator3 pkg.
Attempt java.
ktrace.
growl.
	
>Fix:
Not sure.  Compat_aout is a bit invasive if it's overriding BSDI emul calls.
Odd that netscape functioned at all though I guess.

IMHO COMPAT_AOUT should be nuked from orbit.. but thats a different subject.
