I need to check) on my home box which was upgraded to 4.2-RELEASE some time ago. As it's dynamically linked with libc_r, the problem should have occured, but, it didn't. I'm using it without any problems (besides that it's slow like a roadkilled turtle, any way I can make the beast run faster?). Like I said, I'm going to sanitize the new computer (i.e. check that mozilla was really blown away with pkg_delete), use the patch and rebuild relevant part(s) and mozilla, then post the results here on this list. The patch affects src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/freebsd-native.h, can I recompile only affected parts, e.g. cc, or I'll have to do buildworld? Like I said, the computer is vanilla 4.2-R installed two days ago. Stay tuned. --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
