Whoa!!! I suspect that your source is horribly mistaken! I *might* believe that 99% of SIGBUS errors are caused by hardware, but I have seen literally thousands of SIGSEGV dumps, and to the best of my knowledge every one of them was caused by software problems. In fact, I *know* that many of them were because I have fixed more than a few of the memory problems that caused the SIGSEGV in the first place... Josh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
