- Bugs as of 1 Mar 1992:-
-
- * Crack: is known to occasionally hang during a "Crack -network" whilst
- rshing from machine to machine on some architectures. It's a persistent
- problem at some sites, when Crack rsh'es to a particular machine and
- stays there, and thus never calls the next machine.
-
- FIX: mark machines that hang Crack with the "-f" option in network.conf
- file, then the 'rsh' will be backgrounded and Crack will continue to the
- next machine. The tweak in Crack v4.1 to close descriptors 0->9 on all
- machines (esp Apollos) may help this.
-
- * Beta testers on DEC 5500s have reported crack-pwc crashing when
- compiled with the optimiser. This apparently doesn't happen using GCC
- or when optimisation is turned off (heisenbug?)
-
- Be warned.
-
- * Earlyish System V type systems will have problems if the environment
- variable SHELL is not set to "/bin/sh" - this is because SV will
- blithely ignore the "#!/bin/sh" line and invoke a csh anyway, if thats
- what you prefer.
-
- This is probably most easily diagnosed when Crack bails out like this:
-
- CRACK_HOME=/your/crack/directory: Command not found.
-
- - or similar.
