For the last few months, it used to crash on me about twice a week. My last build dates from 2001-08-11 and has been stable so far. - Sound is broken, but I gather that's not specific to alpha. - I'm seeing mysterious writes (kevent says NOTE_WRITE) to my executables. I suspect this is a VM bug. - Pthreads are broken. Well, at least ports that rely on them fail. I run a fairly minimal custom kernel and use modules where available. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
