- Hmmm, and i should have asked same questions before to save myself from lots
- of headache and 1001 driver re-compilation:)
-
- I also tried different mallocs and also without gcc's internal..and got
- got exactly same problems (well, with my 4 megs and 8 megs swap it only runs
- ab. 2 minutes)
-
- So, i'm crossposting this also to linux group if there's someone who could
- help. (hmm, it's allready a crosspost;-)
-
- I'm using cdlib driver and mudlib, which is a bit different (not much), and
- i wonder should they work together at all, there is lots of bugs in mudlib
- and i wonder that if there is someone who has patched his to get it running
- like it should..(first one (which was easy to fix) was wrong name to some
- STATUE_WHEN_LINKDEAD or something, but there's lot more of them)
