It's on the MBONE and is running mrouted-3.8. Every week or so it starts core dumping executables right and left. (rshd, login, ftpd, reboot... you name it). It did this yesterday - I looked at reboot.core and found that the "code" it was executing was all zeros - at least in the core file. I have seen this behavior, once, correlated with massive routing updates from the MBONE. (also note, I saw this behavior once and a while with 2.1.0-R) I have not subscribed to -stable before today (I didn't realize it existed - oops - I've been reading -current), so take pity if this is know. -brad
