I tried truss but I got an error that it couldn't open /proc/somepid & ptrace doesn't seem to exist on my system. I was able to use ktrace so I have a ktrace.out file, but I don't really know what I'm looking at when I view it with kdump. What's really extra special weird is that I re-installed the box to 6.0-Beta4 & I was able to run "make buildworld" after I rebooted. Then I cvsup'ed and now I can't buildworld again. Any suggestions where I might find somebody who can look at my ktrace.out file? -Will
