Thanks for the reports, and for the diagnosis already done by Marcel, Luoqi, and others. If you are stuck with a kernel that can't run CVSup, I believe you can work around the problem by adding "@M3novm" to the cvsup command line. Add it anywhere on the command line -- its position doesn't matter. Also, I recommend that you _not_ try to rebuild CVSup and/or Modula-3 from the sources at this time. I suspect Modula-3 is broken because of the changed size of the jmp_buf type in -current. (The M3 runtime thinks it knows how big a jmp_buf is.) This shouldn't affect old binaries, but it will bite you if you try to rebuild from the sources. I'll commit a patch as soon as I can, but I am on some other deadlines and it might take me a day or two. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
