I've tried it on a powerpc now (thanks, Adam Conrad) and couldn't reproduce the problem there either. In fact, on that machine I don't see any _newselect() calls at all. What does 'ls -l /usr/lib/man-db/man' say, and what version of libdb2 do you have installed? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
