Alas, why do you say that? > Have you actually seen any suspect code? In this case, it was setheap((void *)end, (void *)0x20080000); that was breaking. If 'end' was not 16 byte aligned, zfree() would panic. On the x86, if 'end' was not 8 byte aligned, zfree would panic there too. > As for Peter disabling FICL on Alpha... it was never enabled in first > place! I've reactivated it and added the initialize call - the problem that broke libficl in the first place was that it was using fp regs in the generated code. I had to add -mno-fp-regs to the libficl build for the Alpha and now it works. Now to install loader.conf etc. :-) Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
