Perhaps it's related (or not), but something changed system-call wise
between 1.2 and 1.3 somewhere. (something in the file I/O or
stat() area)
I had to recompile all my stuff when I went to 1.3B, because things like
/bin/sh and such would start dumping core. Makes booting kinda
hard ;-)
I also noticed that this has also broken the X executables I had
downloaded earlier. My 'xterm' program now dumps core too, while
it works fine under 1.2. Oh well.. Luckily I have a 2 gig drive
on my box, so I should be able to recompile the X11R6 stuff too..
As I said.. I'm not sure if this is the same thing that causes the
core dump, but it happened to me..
Bye Arno.
