I looked at the diffs between 2.2.1 and 2.2.5, and it looks like the call that we might be hitting is the new issuid... I KNOW that this was before the getcwd syscall was added... (haven't you gotten my last few posts on the subject??)... termcap building failed on a buildworld around late august which is before the getcwd syscalls... ttyl.. -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
