You're getting Unimplemented syscalls on a 2.4.0-test11 kernel!?! Or is it just a SIGBUS? If it's a SIGBUS, then I blame the kernel, since I know for sure that 2.4.0-test11 was not entirely stable on sparc32, especially if it was a stock source (and not from vger CVS). -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
