A search of > the mailing lists should find this one. The patch you posted breaks pause(). I committed the patch, but had to back it out later when I found the breakage.

Unfortunately we each don't use all the functions in the library, so it is possible to apply a "fix" to one that breaks another. This is why I started committing the test programs that people provide. All my tests run under a proprietary build-test-release system that is very un-BSD so there is no point releasing the code. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
