What's the "current zero size file problem" ? I spent most of Friday
& Saturday trying to bring my -current machine back onto its feet. I
believe libc.so.3.0 still won't install - it seems that overwriting
the shared lib makes install (which uses it) sig 10, then when "make"
gets control again, it promptly dumps w/ a sig 10 too. I originally
bumped into this when trying to do a "make install" - just about
every process on the machine sig 10'd, and I had no workable libc.so
when I brought the machine up again. I ended up downloading ampere's
libc.so to get me up and running again (and for some reason, had a
crt0.o without a _DYNAMIC in it for a while.... dunno how ??!?!?!??).
After all this, I ran exmh, and ended up w/ a pile of zero length
files - and xdm wouldn't run an X session for me as the .Xauthority
file (which according to diagnostics was written ok) ended up zero
length. Just to finish it all of, I resent my mail to myself (I
archive it as it comes in, before it gets to my mail box), but did it
as root - creating an archive directory with dodgy root'ish permissions
(Duh!). The next time I downloaded mail, I bounced about 100 messages
with "orgmail: permission denied" !!!!!
I have no clue what happened, but rebuilding the kernel solved the
zero length file problem.
Anyone else have similar wonderful experiences ? There was another
bit in there about SYS_[sg]etsid not being in libc.so, but I forget
the details now and the problem went away (I remember the post about
making sure that a new kernel accompanies a make world).
Are these "zero length file" problems gone away now ? :-|
