Dear Mr. Bell, now i know you run on "Slackware current" and the errors happened after Slackware changed to glibc 2.33. The problem is a thoughtless quick-shot addition of mine, which is (still mysteriously) not covered by the tests (yet!), and which comes into play on Linux with glibc adding support for the system- call. Why have i not discovered it earlier? That is the problem. Thanks. New release in five minutes. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
