I'm afraid I'm getting a nasty error when I try to do some very
fundamental things. Not sure what's back of all the problems.

For example when I try to start vim or even xinit, I get:

Jun 23 12:00:12 juno /kernel: pid 2700 (vim), uid 0: exited on signal 10


(I happened to be root at the time, but same applies to any user.)


When I try to startx, I get:

Bus error

uname -a shows: FreeBSD juno.dsj.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD
4.5-STABLE #7: Sun Apr 28 15:23:53 EDT 2002:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/JUNO i386

I do find .core files for proggies I cannot start, though. I went gdb vim vim.core and 
got the following:

Here's the same thing for xinit.core

Mind you, I typed this while looking at the screen of the other
box. Hope I got it correctly.

Any idea what is back of this?

Does it look like some file corruption to ld-elf.so.1?  How the
heck do I fix that if so? I tried to remake a kernel a while back
and couldn't even complete that process. (sniff, sniff)

What type of stuff uses ld-elf.so.1 anyway? Everything?

TIA.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make
an exception.
