It compiles and makes OK under Microport V/386 -- that's : what my development box runs. Anybody know what his make termination code 139 : means? Probably a segment violation, as in 128, a bit meaning "core dumped" to the wait(2) function, + 11, the signal number for segment violation. Sounds like a bug in the make, though it is possible that a process called by make died and make just passed the return code along. --- Bill { uunet!proxftl | novavax } !twwells!bill
