Thus far it's happened with -CURRENT and > 970807-SNAP, AFAIK. Yes, I've had exactly this problem, and I've also noticed that it doesn't happen if you do it directly in the termcap directory. It seems to be a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. In my case, I was upgrading an old (December 1996) version of 3.0-CURRENT. The 'bad system call' signal means that the program has issued a system call that the kernel doesn't understand. In many cases, this is the result of a bug in the program, but in this case it's because the old kernel doesn't understand the new system call. The solution I found was to build and install a kernel, then restart the 'make world' with -DNOCLEAN (to speed things up a bit). Greg
