And we're talking about Netscape 5 source, no? Are you sure it's not a libc select/poll bug? __Every__ X program linked with FreeBSD libc on my 3.0-971225-SNAP system hangs and burns CPU on exit. Netscape 3.04 doesn't because it's statically linked -- with BSDI's libc. This problem didn't exist when I was running 2.2.2-RELEASE. It only started after I upgraded to 3.0-971225-SNAP. Doesn't matter whether I build X to use select or poll, so I'm suspicious that the select/poll reimplementation broke something. I haven't had a chance to dig into it, but I have some degree of confidence that it's a libc or kernel bug because Xlib didn't loop on 2.2.2, nor does it on any of the half dozen other systems that I build X on. -- Kaleb S.
