One possible error condition for the searcher is "term not found". So, people are querying our search engine all day long and the logs fill up with spurious "Segmentation violation" and "architextSearch exited on signal 11" messages. There is no other impact other than an annoying extraneous message. Oddly enough, i downloaded the BSDI package and it does the exact same thing! Succesful completion is ok, error exits dump core. BTW, i apologize if this is in the wrong category. I'm not sure if the linux emulator is kernel or ports... >How-To-Repeat: Download the excite package from ftp.excite.com:/ews/1.1p1/linux and try it out. >Fix: i don't know enough about the linux emulator to fix it. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
