Hmmm, I'm specifically talking about when you have MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX set to something other than /usr/obj - it *almost* works, but /bin/sh uses files generated on-the-fly that get put in the wrong places (in the chroot'ed hierarchy). (ONLY when building the crunches - makeworld runs fine.) I

I'd suggest truss/kdump/etc to try and figure out what avp is doing differently on -current then -stable. Is anything obvious here? (If not, I won't persue the matter, but ask Kaspersky nicely if they can make a Fbsd-5 version. I know current is not for production; this is my testmachine.
