Since then, however, vi and ex have been generating bus errors. Yesterday, after returning from a vacation, I had the bright idea of getting newer sources and doing a fresh build. The build fails well into Stage 4 with the following: ===> share/termcap TERM=dumb ex - /usr/src/share/termcap/termcap.src < /usr/src/share/termcap/reorder Bus error - core dumped *** Error code 138 Stop in /usr/src/share/termcap. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. There doesn't appear to be a newer ex in /usr/obj at this stage of compiling, and forcing the use of the newer libc and libncurses doesn't fix the bus errors. I have not seen any messages on this list or in the recent archives regarding this, so I'm assuming operator error is the problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this short of downloading the usrbin piece of a recent 4.4-STABLE snapshot and installing it over my existing /usr/bin? -Patrick -- Patrick L.
