Hello Current, I am wondering if someone could help me please. I built the 9.0-current kernel and world while there was still a bug in the updated strlen(). Unfortunately this rendered the machine unbootable as gptzfsloader crashed and would just echo an endless stream of spaces across the screen. After booting off another drive and reverting the gptzfsboot to the .old version, I was able to being the machine back to life, but applications were dieing left and right (Signal 10). I used dgb to find the offending library /lib/libc.so.7 and had a copy of the library from 3 days ago. After reverting that library, I was able to start all my applications OK and the machine is working.. However..... I am not able to build the latest world (I havent tried kernel yet). Whenever I start gengtype dies with a signal 10. I have tried to use dgb to examine the core file, but it gives me nonsense answers so I am not able to locate what library it might be trying to use. I have also tried to blow away the /usr/src and /usr/obj directories and recreate them from svn just incase there was something hanging on from the previous build. Can anyone give me advice on how to track this problem down or fix it? I suspect I still have a lib that still trying to use the broken libc.so.7 or something else depended on it, but I am not sure.. Thanks, Peg
