Even if it's not, it's a bit much to expect SleepyCat to do the extra work of providing the alternative fix. I think this has probably gone as far as it can for now. The next step is for someone to see how hard it is to provide libc hooks for the DB 3.x functionality that nvi requires, without removing the existing DB 1.x functionality that other subsystems require. If we don't get that, the decision becomes much simpler. :-) Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
