Hmm... does this look familiar to anyone? What version of berkley DB do we use.... 1.85... HMMMMMMMMMM My questions are: 1) will gcc without any '-O' flags make a difference? 2) Can we upgrade to the latest Berkley DB (we will need to do a version bump of libc to accomplish this. It is clear that we _must_ do something... the db in our libc is buggy. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Lab Director | Rm: 308 Lally Hall Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
