This reminds me of some commercial software which couldn't be ported to Solaris because |RTSIG_MAX| was too low. If you change something here _please_ _please_ _please_ bump RTSIG_MAX to |16| or higher (Linux uses |32|). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
