This was a rather surprising development this morning.
I had updated my -STABLE sources per my daily ritual, then did the
usual "make buildworld" & friends and rebooted. I logged in (via xdm's
login screen, as usual), and got a login screen before I had a chance to
enter my SSH passphrase. Repeated attempts yielded the same effect.
I switched to a vty and logged in ... and was presented with a login
prompt immediately. This was also repeatable. :-{
I logged in as root -- successfully.
I moved aside ~david/.cshrc, and was then able to login as "david".
I then tried "source .cshrc.save" and found that csh got a Segmentation
fault while processing that directive. Trying various incantations with
"csh -x" indicated that there was something about the "setenv LC_ALL C"
line in my ~/.cshrc that it didn't like at all, so I created a new
~/.cshrc like the old one, but without that line (and the one before
it); csh seemed to cope with that OK.
So here's the result from what debugging I've done so far. I confess
that I'm fairly rusty with gdb, but I'm willing to poke aroud:

And looking at the man page for setlocale(), I don't see anything special
regarding the second argument being a string of length 0.
I note further that along with tracking -STABLE on a daily basis,
I've also been tracking -CURRENT on a daily basis on the same
machine, using the same home directory (and thus, the same .cshrc). And
I never saw this issue pop up on -CURRENT.
Am I the only one to see this? Am I doing something wrong (or at least,
unsupported)?
Thanks in advance for clues!
Peace,
david
