Can you try those settings on RELENG_4 and see if > it changes anything? Andrew Gallatin pointed out that same thing. It seems the 'J' option is what is causing the crash. That (I think?) makes this a tcsh bug. I'll submit a problem report to Christos (anyone have his address? Not readily findable at www.tcsh.org). In the interim (before he has a chance to look over the problem and offer a correction) would it be possible to stop defining SYSMALLOC? I'll submit a PR for it if you believe thats appropriate. -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
