It should have been directed to -ports and -ports only, sending mail to multiple open lists is unnecessary unless it's an announcement or something. * I installed 2.2-960323-SNAP on my home machine (a 486/66 IDE-disked box) * and my work machine (a Pentium/150 SCSI-disked box). In both cases, once a * 2.2 kernel was up and running, top(1) broke. Every invocation of top * produced a seg fault. Reinstalling the top-3.3 package from the Walnut * Creek 2.2-960323-SNAP CD/ROM didn't fix the problem. Building and * installing the top-3.3 port, however, *did* fix it. It is because the program "top" depends heavily on the kernel you are running. The old one was for your old kernel; the one in the CDROM was probably old too, maybe the time I did a rebuild of top wasn't close enough to the snap press, sorry. Satoshi
