[Leaf-devel] Oxygen Problems and Suggestions

[Leaf-devel] seg faults in busybox routines in most recent oxygen

2001-03-24 Thread Mark Seiden
i'm getting a lot of random-seeming (but completely reproduceable) seg faults that i don't remember existing in the older versions of oxygen. e.g. even busybox "tar" and "more" seg fault. my main question is: what's the best way to debug such problems in the oxygen environment? load a gdb.lrp?

Just thinking here, generally a bad idea... I've been reading the Postfix list lately, on which Linux is dissed for a couple of reasons: a) asynchronous flushing in ext2fs causes lost mail This is a good reason to diss, and I've been avoiding ext2fs for a while now. It looks like ReiserFS is a g
