In each of the 3 cases, I find a /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg/pkg-static.core file g1-252(9.3-S)[4] sudo file pkg-static.core Password: pkg-static.core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), FreeBSD-style, from '-static' g1-252(9.3-S)[5] > I'd be interested in seeing the backtrace... Well, given it was a segmentation fault, it's not clear to me that I'd be able to find much of value -- I'm way out of practice using gdb, and by the nature of a segmentation fault (or what caused it, anyway), something is pretty confused by the time the fault is discovered. > (I'm not using 1.3 or even NG on any of my production > systems at the moment because I personally don't trust it yet (I have 57 > complex systems and if they screw up I end up rebuilding the OS from > scratch) so I'd be happy to take a look at any cores an unstripped > binaries to see if I can work out why people see this occasionally... > Sounds like you have 3 identical systems which 2 worked no problems the > third faulted .. this is obviously not good and needs to be fixed, so > will give another pair of eyes at the problem. Err... no.... I have 5 system in total; 2 haven't failed because I haven't tried to update them yet: if they fail, I don't have access to email (or much of anything else); more critially, neither does my spouse -- and I value domestic tranquility. Of the 3 failures, 2 were on i386; one on amd64. They are all running stable/9 @r269090 (and the 2 that I haven't upgraded yet would normally be upgraded to that point before I start messing with ports on them). I'll be happy to provide any information about this that I can. Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill da...@catwhisker.org Taliban: Evil cowards with guns afraid of truth from a 14-year old girl.
