However, I don't think they are being initialized the way you intended.. On a freshly booted system: broil# sysctl -a | grep unaligned machdep.unaligned_print: 0 machdep.unaligned_fix: 0 machdep.unaligned_sigbus: 0 I'm not sure why unaligned_print & unaligned_fix are off (I suspect they aren't really being initialized). Having them off causes ypbind to die with a bus error.. For now, I've initialized them in the variable declarations to restore the previous behaviour.
