Hi,

Thanks for the many suggestions.  I have tried to follow the advice
given.  Richard, I did not see any unusual messages in the output of
dmesg.

I modifed /etc/mk.conf as shown below and recompiled ircd-hybrid.

# cat /etc/mk.conf
INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED=YES
CFLAGS=-O0 -g3
CXXFLAGS=-O0 -g3


Next, I ran gdb as shown below.  After calling run I connected to port
6667 on the computer with telnet which caused ircd to generate the
Broken pipe error.

What should I do next?
