After upgrading to current-2001-08-28, my old BSD/OS Netscape 3 binary no longer works. It coredumps right away at startup, before opening any window. (Running it as "netscape3 -help", where it only produces a usage message, isn't affected.) Now the interesting part: i wanted to get an idea why this happened, and ran it through ktrace. Voila, that still works! Likewise when running through truss. Does anybody have an idea what might have changed, and why's that odd behaviour with the syscall tracers? -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
