The sysctl change and lib/libc/gmon/gmon.c use that, so it will have to be recompiled to work again. So I think the minor version bump that already happened should be enough??? The other programs in the list above use the sysctl direcly and would also have to be recompiled, but I don't think that is a problem??? John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za
