Two things that I had in mind when I wrote that. . . Most distributions where introducing libraries with TLS (Thread Local Storage) and still carrying compatibility layers to support both thread libraries. I never followed Slackware, so I don't know where they stood in these two library transitions - - But I have seen problems with "clean compile and link" VS "run time problems" during that period. Just self testing it runs it against what it was built with (which had better work) But it is a library - that does not mean what links to it will not have funky behavior. So I was hoping to eliminate all of those possibilities by learning where your 2005 library stood in the past mix. You might have one of those multiple compatibility library installs in Slackware of 2005. Mike > Truthfully that kernel and distribution has done everything I need > to date.
