I saw this the other day: http://www.sleepycat.com/historic.html Down at the bottom: > Finally, you should not upgrade your GNU gcc or Solaris compiler. > Optimizations in versions of gcc 2 that were in alpha test in the > summer of 1997, and a version of the standard Solaris WorkShop Compiler > that was in beta test in the fall of 1997, trigger bugs in versions 1.85 > and 1.86 that will cause sporadic core dumps. Hmm... does this look familiar to anyone? What version of berkley DB do we use.... 1.85... HMMMMMMMMMM My questions are: 1) will gcc without any '-O' flags make a difference? 2) Can we upgrade to the latest Berkley DB (we will need to do a version bump of libc to accomplish this. It is clear that we _must_ do something... the db in our libc is buggy. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Lab Director | Rm: 308 Lally Hall Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
