Is it possible to take libc_r from > -stable and bring it over to -stable? Or will it be overly big a task? libc_r from -current should work with -stable. We use it with 2.1R. We *can't* use it with -current because of the pipe problems. Be careful to compile both libc_r and your program against -current header files. > > If I only could get a machine to run -current on...
