Solutions include : recompiling apps, and toggling things off in /etc/malloc.conf. Recompiling apps isn't going to change things. The default is in the system. : 2. pam modules break backwards compatibility with pam apps compiled on : RELENG_4. The only solution I've been offered is to recompile things (or, : my preferred solution, don't use pam). Yes. There's nothing here except to recompile. : 3. xconsole causes periodic panics. The problem (according to BDE) is "a : well-know bug in printf(9)," caused by "The TIOCCONS ioctl ... panics when : printf() is called while sched_lock is held." I reported this bug in : October 2001, if anyone wants to look through the archives. This isn't happening often enough to worry about. I run xconsole and I've not seen a panic with it in months of running current with xconsole. Of course, maybe I'm just lucky.
