OK, all those failures are signal 12 == SIGSYS == non-existent signal call. Somebody must have made a change to libc which caused it to start using a signal call that didn't exist in 4.0-RELEASE. So yes, I suppose that the version number of libc should be bumped. Likewise for libc_r, if it hasn't already been bumped for this release. What a pain -- that means yet another compatxx distribution. Whether the bump is still possible at this late date is a question for the Release Engineer. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
