It is not used by the kernel. Note that the patch includes updates to the kernel source as well. Also note that `savecore' statically links libz, so it must be recompiled and reinstalled also. I don't believe there are any other programs in the base system that statically link libz. Cheers, -- Jacques A. Vidrine http://www.nectar.cc/ NTT/Verio SME . FreeBSD UNIX .
