The call to homedir() in enlightenment results in a core dump when getpwuid() is called. This happens even if you move the call to homedir() so it is the very first thing called from main.c. Somehow isatty() gets called from getpwuid() and it results in a call to .cerror() which causes the dump. A small stand alone program that duplicates the call to homedir() does not fail, so perhaps it has to due with lots of static variables or other libraries that are linked into E. >How-To-Repeat: Build Enlightment from the ports collection and try to run it on a resonably current system. It will fail - at least for me. >Fix: No known fix. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
