Hello! Looking at the http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/todo.html today, I was surprised to not see the following problems in addition to the em(4) issue: . devel/nspr's self test fails: the forktest executable complains about a bug in pthread. Using libthr seems to work, but that is not the default configuration. To reproduce: cd /usr/ports/devel/nspr make build test . when the devel/icu port is built with threading support (currently off for this reason), its self-tests crash randomly on ia64. marcel is aware of the problem with threads on ia64 *in general* and is working on it... To reproduce (on ia64): cd /usr/ports/devel/icu make config ;# Enable threads make . building devel/icu on i386 with an optimization flags lower than -O2, reveals a bug in the compiler toolchain -- a bogus symbol is inserted into an object file. The problem strikes sometimes and appears to depend on the number of string literals in the source file. To reproduce, edit the port's Makefile to change the -O flag modification from -O2 to "-O0 -g" and try to build the port. Yours, -mi
