I care that no one can debug a program that uses shared libraries under -STABLE, and I care when it will be fixed. I don't consider a system I have to patch the loader in order to debug my code to be "STABLE". -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team ('88-94) rjesup@wgate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
