One thing that I was concerned about when installing it at work was something that I had trouble with at home, which was a great number of "bus error" core dumps. I am now seeing this on the new machine, with any version of 'perl'. Even an old BSD/386 binary that I have sitting around dumps core on me. It has nothing to do with any script in particular, as I have tried using perl from the command line as well as trying several scripts... all with the same results. Is there anyone else out there that has a problem with lots of bus errors? I find it hard to believe that it is a hardware problem, simply because the hardware configuration is completely different on the two machines. Also, none of the other operating systems that I run on my home machine have a problem with such things. Any thoughts, experience, or kernel tweaks that can help me to get around this problem are much appreciated! -Blaine -- ----------------------------------------- Blaine M Barber blaine@sentex.net Sentex Unix Support/Administration Geek Code: d-- p-(---) c+++ l++ u++ e+ m++(--) s n+ h-- f !g w- t r-- x* IRC: dyejob (#unix->EFNET) -----------------------------------------
