Note that this typically happens when I open a new GNOME terminal. I guess the grand question is: is this a genuine bug or just a nasty side effect of our malloc options? -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
