This should be documented in LINT (or NOTES if using -current). thanks, but *argh!* back to cvsup and buildworld, I suppose. Some X programs are now misbehaving--but the ones I"ve noticed are netscape-linux (quits with no errors, sometimes displaying it's flash screen, sometimes not, but never sticking around) and vmaware (also a linux program) with XIO: fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server ":0.0" after 1780 requests (1779 known processed) with 31 events remaining. I've noticed that COMPAT3X had become commentedx in /etc/make.conf (but how?); maybe this had something to do with it . . . -- Prof. Richard E.
