Yesterday I installed MacMinix on my 2MB MacPlus.  *THANK YOU* Joe Pickert for
the "10 Easy Steps to Macintosh Hard Disk Nirvana" - the pain you saved me...
(And, thank you for MacMinix!)

So for my first project, I decided to install Clam which I scarfed from
plains.nodak.edu.  I had to make a couple of changes to the files (which I
will post as soon as clam works) to get a clean compile and link.  Howsumever,
clam exits prematurely with an unhelpful message "assert failed in
lib/malloc.c" and core dumps.  So,

(1)  What do I do with a core dump?  No adb.  No sdb.  No mdb.  Find "*debug*"
and "*dbg*" are silent.  "*db*" returns matches against "badblocks".

That leads to the following question,

(2) How does one debug in MacMinix?  (No, no, not printf... please.)

Now, I know that I can compile clam with debugging turned on, but I'd rather
not.  (Understandable, nah?)

Finally, as a last resort,

(3) Are there some ftp sites with a clam which will compile with ACK on
MacMinix?

Thanks.
