It is provided on FreeBSD through the ports mechanism. /editors/sam installs a program that wants to create temp files in /usr/tmp, a directory that does not exist per default on FreeBSD. Sam replies to the insult of having its wish denied by raising IOT/ABRT and dump core. >How-To-Repeat: Install sam via ports. Then just invoke it: $ sam sam: panic: can't create buffer file sam: panic: can't create buffer file Abort (core dumped) >Fix: The easy workaround is providing a pkg-message which instructs the user to create /usr/tmp, or a symlink to from, say, /var/tmp to /usr/tmp. Otherwise, a patch should be provided which changes /usr/tmp to /var/tmp in the sam source. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
