I'm sure that if you send him an email with a more detailed report and a backtrace of the core dump, he'll be very responsive in fixing the problem. One problem with bpm is that whenever the INDEX structure changes, bpm's code needs to be updated accordingly. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx
