(it runs days at a time sometimes, i get a calcru error, and it dies within seconds). If it helps any, dl uses lots of sysv shared memory, and lots of mmap()ing. It appears that it's segfaulting trying to read a global variable in the application. It's different each time, but always a global variable. I posted this to -current, since a similar discussion went on here not to long ago, I believe. :) Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
