:I tested Kevin's patch, and I posted a couple of questions/
:possible problems, but never got a response from anyone.
:
:I assume that no one else has seen any problems using the
:default settings, which is good.
:
:I'm still wondering about my coredump problem during the
:'configure' phase of building pkgsrc/lang/clisp -- I posted
:about this a day or two ago.  The puzzle is complicated by
:comments in 'configure' stating that "this should cause a
:coredump".  However, I don't see any coredumps when building
:clisp on NetBSD.
:
:Any thoughts on this matter?  Should I forget about it?
:
:Thanks!

    It is testing mprotect() so I assume that the program
    explicitly protected the memory and then tried to access
    it.  A coredump in that case would mean that mprotect()
    worked properly.

    I have no idea what the difference between NetBSD and DragonFly
    is in this case.  Maybe DragonFly is generating a different
    signal then NetBSD is when the failed access occurs.
