Now I've seen this (or something very similar, couldn't swear to the exact hex sigreturn) a couple of times myself, and I never found out quite what caused it. Searching the FreeBSD archives never turned up anything (which is why I just cross-posted the reply, in case someone else goes looking). However, I did find out that it was basically caused by something in the system being out-of-date. Which, as I cvsup all the time and don't necessarily re-build the ports, isn't too surprising... In one instance, rebuilding WindowMaker, WDM & all the ports that it depended on sorted it out. Another time, I had to completely rebuild *all* the ports (doing the above plus X and a whole bunch of other stuff didn't sort it out, so I did a pkg_delete `pkg_info | awk '{print $1}'` and started again). I can only assume that something was stale in the system, and this was causing the problem. > Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vance, 'portupgrade' is your friend, if you've not looked at it, I can heartily recommend it. It rocks. My advice would be to pick a good moment to CVSup the complete source tree, ports and all, go through the regular 'buildworld', 'buildkernel', 'mergemaster' cycle, and, having freshly rebooted into a good, clean, running system, install 'portupgrade' if you don't have it already, fix up your ports database and rebuild the whole lot. At the end, the whole system will be squeaky clean, and every single port on the system will be rebuilt with the new binaries, libraries, updated to the latest versions etc. All that remains would be to rebuild any ports you happen to prefer to build with custom options, and you're all done. Works for me, every time. HTH.
