It has been a long time since I ran on a PDP-11 with 16-bit
addresses, pointers, and maximum file sizes. Your question makes me
try harder to remember what the problem really was. It seems you
are right that the linker would not include stuff in -lm if nothing
were needed from it. Perhaps the problem was that files could not
exceed 65536 bytes and if you put libm.a in with libc.a, its size
would exceed 65536 bytes. I forget when you could get larger file
sizes.
These days you could combine perhaps a lot of the libraries into
one big .so file. But even here, is that the best use of memory?
(Real question, not rhetorical.) 32-bit addresses and pointers is a
whole lot better than 16. 8-bit addresses are the pits.

The problem is the Machinists -- they turn the switches like they

There isn't any -- protocol the files are just dumped onto the serial
line. Ie., to send a file in the computer runs a terminal program to
listen on the port, the operator sets the switches, and goes to the
machine and dumps the program to the line. The reverse is done to send
a program to the machine. The machine looks for "%" signs in the
recieved data to know what to send.
If I understand you, a Win DLL to write to the Linux box (possibly to
IP:Port), then re-direct the IP:Port to the TTY port will send a file
to the machine? What about the reverse to save a file from the machine
to a hard drive?

Hi,
We are trying to port some code over to a Linux PC running RedHat 6.2.
Compilation of the code is fine, however when we run, we get a
segmentation fault on one of our fopen calls. We seem to be able to
pass through the code once, but on the second iteration, we get the
fault. This code is being ported from a Solaris machine where it ran
fine. Here is the output of "gdb sfg core". We are just wondering if
this is a known bug or if anyone has seen behavior like this before.

Just a thought for you. I have no idea if it will work or not.
You could try to assign an IP alias to your nic. A private network ip
like 192.168.0.1, then have your NamedVirtualHost directive set to your
private IP, and BindAddress to *
Don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.

Check out your cron scripts and config files: /etc/crontab, /var/spool/cron,
and possibly /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.daily etc....
Somewhere you will find an attempt to access the above files as a
nonpriviledged user. Also examine the file /var/lib/logrotate.status and
delete it if you can not correct the corruption in it.

A Daily Quip, Quote, or Fortune:
"Emergency!" Sgiggs screamed, ejecting himself from the tub like it was
a burning car. "Dial 'one'! Get room service! Code red!" Stiggs was on
the phone immediately, ordering more rose blossoms, because, according to
him, the ones floating in the tub had suddenly lost their smell. "I demand
smell," he shrilled. "I expecting total uninterrupted smell from these
f*cking roses."
Unfortunately, the service captain didn't realize that the Stiggs situation
involved fifty roses. "What am I going to do with this?" Stiggs sneered at
the weaseling hotel goon when he appeared at our door holding a single flower
floating in a brandy glass. Stiggs's tirade was great. "Do you see this
bathtub? Do you notice any difference between the size of the tub and the
size of that spindly wad of petals in your hand? I need total bath coverage.
I need a completely solid layer of roses all around me like puffing factories
of smell, attacking me with their smell and power-ramming big stinking
concentrations of rose odor up my nostrils until I'm wasted with pleasure."
It wasn't long before we got so dissatisfied with this incompetence that we
bolted.

Date: Fri, 08 Sep 2000 12:18:40 +0000
Hello,
Relatively new at this, and I have a dual pentium machine with a 45
GB hard drive that used to have a Promise Controller connected to it.
Since I recently acquired the system administration responsibilities
here, I took out the promise controller and removed the partitions that
did exist on the drive (they were all Linux partitions), for the purpose
of starting from scratch to see if I could successfully install RedHat
on this dual chip machine, and then put the promise controller on it.
Now that you have the background, here's my problem. I used Partition
Magic to remove the partitions, and I have been trying to create new
partitions using the RedHat installer. I can create the /, /usr, /home,
and additional linux native partitions, but I can't create the Linux
Swap partition. I have 1 GB of RAM, so I'm using a 1GB Swap partition.
Whenever RedHat gets to initializing the swap partition, I get the
following error:
Exception Occured

Check out R (www.r-project.org), a freeware version of S. I've also
heard good things about Octave but haven't tried it. Stata is of

Since they were into the 6.0, I think they still are into the 6.1,
but why you are afraid about this ? They are all available from the

I would be very disappointed if any GNU/Linux distribution did not
include Apache and Sendmail in their standard edition. I don't know
anything about the RedHat distribution though...
For those poor souls that do not have access to Sendmail, it is
available at <URL:http://www.sendmail.org/>. The Apache web server is
available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/httpd.html>. And guess what?
wu-ftp is also available, at <URL:http://www.wu-ftpd.org/>...
So, there's really no need to get a Gold, Deluxe or Professional pack
of anything unless you want some commercial closed-source stuff with
your system.
