Take for example #include #include #include void main(int argc, char **argv) { long inval; inval=atol(argv[1]); printf("%s",ctime(&inval)); } If you run this program and do not give it an argument, it will do a sig 11 coredump. However, since the FreeBSD distribution is not poorly written, and you start seeing SIG 11's on basic daemons and processes, I would start looking at the hardware perhaps... ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
