- When porting some applications (Mush and Tin for example) I had to
- patch them because Linux doesn't define SIGBUS.
-
- Is SIGBUS missing from Linux because it isn't really needed (IE: SIGSEGV can
- always be used in it's place)? If so, I guess it's something application
- authors/porters will just have to live with. It's not that difficult
- if one uses #ifdef SIGBUS/#endif - one needn't have to add any Linux specific
- configuration stuff per se.
-
- I just thought I'd bring this topic up because except for SIGBUS
- these two applications more or less ported ***** as is *****. Way cool!
