Would you also know what this mean then: Apr 26 16:37:45 mech-as28 kernel: pid 33752 (syscall), uid 1001: exited on signal 12 Apr 26 16:37:45 mech-as28 kernel: pid 33757 (syscall), uid 1001: exited on signal 12 Apr 26 16:37:45 mech-as28 kernel: pid 33751 (syscall), uid 1001: exited on signal 12 Does this mean that the program, syscall in this case, tried to invoke a system call which doesn't exist? Could this be because I'm running it on ia64, whereas it's likely to have been written for i386/amd64? Just to clarify, I'm running stress2: http://people.freebsd.org/~pho/stress/ on ia64 -current box. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
