I've opened a Firebird bug report, so please don't misread me as "please fix it on the FreeBSD end". But interestingly, I get the following output of my test program on Linux (note that you have to link against libdl on Linux as their libc does not contain the dl* functions): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/prog/datest$ ./datest hello driver now exiting So the installed handler is called and runs ok. I'm wondering if this just so happens to work, or if Linux uses some weird mechanism to keep the installed routines accessible. But again, there is no need to investigate this any further, I'm just curious by design. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
