- I currently have three problems that I'm sure of other people can
- handle in a better way than I can.
-
- 1) the linux-patches to tcsh-6.02 say they will be incorporated in the
- next version. BUT: tcsh-6.03 will not work unmodified. Something wrong
- with wait(), I think. Are new patches (or suggestions) available?
-
- 2) mbase5.0's demo program has some problems with our CURSES
- implementation. Anyone know which package is at fault: our curses,
- mbase, the demo? What to do about it? Is this the same for your own mbase
- programs? I'm sticking with index-db for the moment.....
-
- 3) Limited testing has shown that strace doesn't seem to behave
- properly when invoked like 'strace -p xxxxx | less', and aborted by
- 'q' in less. The traced process hangs after that. Does this have
- anything to do with strace not catching SIGPIPE? Sorry, I should have
- looked at the source instead, not asked the net.
-
- Thanks for any time devoted to answering a question (or even thinking
- about it....).
