Hi Christos,

Thank you!  I updated by extracting the most recent daily build from HEAD
(201401260150Z) and made sure the files contained your recent oommits.  The
same ls and pwd 0.9 binaries error out with an abort trap message now.  I
tested using the GENERIC kernel from HEAD and recompiling the same from
source to be certain.  Please advise if there's something else I should try.


Best regards,

Dan
