I work on it NOW. Just to add a bit more (don't know, may be it helps): I've played with that wierd thing a bit. Actually, the same thing happened a few times -- irregularly, but each time with the tail (though it should be just coincidense). The machine was makeworlding at the same time. Then, after a few such seg.faults tail once again reported "Segmentation fault", but didn't return to shell. And machine gradually frose (e.g., I was able to login at one console, but when I typed 'ps' -- it didn't work, then 'make world' stopped to compile, then...), I was able to switch consoles, and to drop to DDB, but that's all. > -- > John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, > dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, > jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig. --- Don't get mad, get interest.
