Back when Weber State first purchased the new "icarus", and renamed the older SunOS 4.1.3 box to "cs", icarus was the first Solaris 2.x box there. I submitted a number of bugs to Sun, having to do with statically linked SunOS 4.1.3 binaries (including the X game "NodeRunner", my "LodeRunner" clone). I figured "what the hell?", since Weber had a support contract, and didn't have to pay per incident. In order to close these bug reports, Sun had to implement, among other things, a select(2) system call on Solaris. They did this in Solaris 2.3. I still have the trouble ticket resoloution email (somewhere). Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
