Thanks for the clarification, I expected it to print a version string (because I was only interested in seeing that it does not die after the pmap fix) but had to find out from the man page, that nm(1) uses -V for that, while all other members of the binutils family opt for -v. Oh well... Consistency in software design rocks. So, problem solved. Thanks to all who responded. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
