--u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi! Hold off upgrading your Alphas for a moment. Something broke libc recently that results in (at least) floating point exceptions from awk(1) (this is not related to today's awk upgrade). I've been able to reproduce this on beast.freebsd.org by building the fresh libc.a and linking awk with it, and running a test case. I haven't been able to reproduce this with 8th March libc, so the time window for the breakage is low. I suspect the recent gtdoa commit to libc; we will know that is less than an hour.
