Every week or so, I go to single user and install what was last built (assuming the build worked OK). My last such venture was on 11-20-2007 without problems. Tonight, I tried to do this again, and immediately got hit with the libexec '_mb_sb_limit' symbol missing problem. I fell back to the 11-20-2007 system image, and all is once again well. So, here's my question. Is this a temporary problem that will be resolved at some point before 6.3 is released, or do I have have to rebuild the entire system applications set to get new binaries that don't depend on this symbol? Also, if it is going to be fixed, how will I know it has been before trying another update like this again? TIA, P.S. Rebuilding the apps on this system would be a REAL pain. Here's hoping the fine FBSD developers can find it within themselves to make this symbol once again appear so old binaries will run unchanged. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
