- If you are using the "-fwritable-strings" switch, and you are still getting
- segmentation faults, you need to look in the configuration file (not fam-
- iliar with 1.04, but I know 1.03 only too well :-) ) and look for something
- like "HAVE_SIGACTION". These #defines tell the comipler how UUCP should han-
- dle signals. You need to say no to all of the defines, at which point the
- code will assume that you want signal() instead of sigaction(), sigvec(),
- or sigset(). From what Linus has told me, however, if you get version 4.2
- of the shared libraries, your segmentation faults due to sigaction()
- should go away. I have yet to try this so I have to bug my sysadmin (he's
- the one with FTP access, not me :-( ; BTW, Joel, HINT, HINT!!!!!) into
- FTPing the latest shared libraries.
