I've looked at this before but never was able to catch it in the act with an inetd with enough symbols to make it worth tracing. I'm pretty sure it's not inetd itself, but some other libc routine that inetd calls. I wonder about the resolver getXXXbyYYY() stuff sometimes. I suspect that some state is being trashed somewhere and it's being accessed or freed in each child after the fork(). > > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org > --- > Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present > or previous employers. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm <peter@netplex.com.au> Netplex Consulting To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
