Recompiling with Lattice 5.05 nearly all the >files. Not all of them, because I encountered some problems: It looks like I distributed UUCP 1.06 compiled under DICE before I should have. At that time DICE was not stable enough. Oh well. Go back to 1.051D until 1.07 comes out .... Also, check out your STACK, it should be at least 8192. As far as I know, the only problem with the distributed binaries for UUCP 1.06 occur in UUCico, which causes random crashes on A3000's. There is another bug that seems to be related to UUCico hanging up just as noise comes in over the serial line (UUCico closes and re-opens the serial.device to accomplish the hangup), but that one does not go away if you recompile under Lattice. >dcron : undefined symbol GetSucc & GetHead Yah.

Switch back if you are having problems, I realize there are problems but the next distribution will not be ready for months. I've been conversing with people on the two major bugs in UUCico and *WILL* post an updated 1.061 UUCico when I find the problems and correct them. >Andreas Klingler >akk@trantor.informatik.uni-erlangen.de -Matt -- Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon Berkeley, Ca. 94708 USA
