Nope, never had a reason to. Thing is, they compile just fine with gcc 4.1 so why should I try that? It doesn't compile or work with gcc 4.3 but does compile and work with gcc 4.1. That along with everything else tells me that at least on this rig, gcc 4.3 has a problem. NOTHING changed except for the compiler. No configs, not my make.conf, not anything. Not even the version of software changed. I switched to gcc 4.1 and things are getting back to normal. This isn't just a kernel problem. Dale :-) :-)
