- It does indeed not work under pl5. I was hoping it would work under pl6,
- but NOT!
-
- However, by now, you might have seen my message, I _HAVE_ tried recompil-
- ing with the oh-so-much-recommended -fwritable-strings flag,
-
- AND IT _STILL_ BOMBS WITH A SEGMENTATION FAULT AND DUMPS CORE!!!!!!!
-
- The software I'm using is patchlevel 6 of the kernel, gcc 2.2.2dm
- shared libraries 4.1 (I think; whatever came with the SLS pl5 dist.).
-
- I've traced the problem to a sigaction() call in the usset_signal()
- function in sys1.c (hardlinked to sys1.unx) when I run uucico through
- gdb.
-
- Only one other option I haven't tried; try uucico under pl5 now that I
- have recompiled it.
