At the time I found one person online who'd had a very similar sounding problem some time before that, and he said it had gone away on its own for him, and that he suspected it was something corrupt in the source tree. I moved /usr/src out of the way and tried to cvsup a fresh source tree, and things started working. But now, it looks like I had just gotten lucky somehow. I've reinstalled one of those systems and the same issue cropped back up again, and I'm at a loss as to what to do about it this time. Pretty much all I did was install the "User" distribution set from 5.3-RELEASE-amd64-miniinst.iso and then installed bash2, sudo, screen, vim (NO_GUI=yes), portupgrade, & cvsup-without-gui from ports (not that I expect those to matter, I'm just trying to be thorough since I did so little that I can think of that might affect this). I then created the following cvs-supfile: $ cat /root/cvs-supfile *default host=cvsup12.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all tag=. and ran the following commands: # cd /usr/src && \ cvsup -g -L 2 /root/cvs-supfile && \ make buildworld && \ make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC && \ make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC && \ make installworld and the "make installworld" ends with this segfault: ===> gnu/usr.bin/groff/doc install-info --quiet --defsection=Miscellaneous --defentry= groff.info /usr/s hare/info/dir install -o root -g wheel -m 444 groff.info.gz /usr/share/info ===> gnu/usr.bin/groff/font ===> gnu/usr.bin/groff/font/devX100 Segmentation fault (core dumped) *** Error code 139 I tried moving /usr/src out of the way again, and cvsup'ing a fresh source tree again, but to no avail, and I'm once again at a loss, and not really sure how to diagnose what's causing this. I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions or pointers? Thanks a ton, I really appreciate it! Tom
