It'll compile but may break some programs, though it's not very serious (you'll still be able to recompile a functioning libc even with a broken libc installed) Check the revision number in RCS Id of that file; it should be 1.9: # ident /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/exec.c /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/exec.c: $Id: exec.c,v 1.9 1998/10/14 20:23:40 des Exp $ If you have 1.8 you have the bug. Recompile libc by running: # cd /usr/src/lib/libc # make all && make install -DNOMAN I'll blame it on Bruce, who reviewed my code but didn't spot the bug ;) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - dag-erli@ifi.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
