- Please send all replies to kfogel@cs.oberlin.edu... he temporarily
- has lost the ability to post to usenet. (I'm just his friend, another
- linuxer.)

- I get the following error message when trying to run a number
- of programs (under 0.98.5, 386/40, 4 megs, no 387, ...):
-
- Warning: "foo" using old stat() call. Recompile your binary.
-
- (...where "foo" is: emacs or xemacs, xcomm, or setterm, and
- maybe other things as well.)
-
-
- Is there a solution to this in the kernel (should I recompile
- with something changed) or do I need to get new binaries for those
- programs using the old stat() call? If so, are they posted anywhere? I
- can't live for long without my Emacs :-), and I don't have the source
- to it around, due to lack of space. I did a "man stat" and learned a
- little, but I really don't understand fully what the problem is,
- having never used the function myself. Can anyone help? Some of the
- programs still work mostly, but have little problems (Emacs can't find
- files in the minibuffer and has no completion, but CAN run dired.
- Xcomm works but gives warnings and seems to give more garbage
- (although this could be an unrelated problem...) characters when
- connected. Setterm works fine, but gives that warning message...
- maybe has other problems I haven't found yet?

- Contentedly I sit under my Binary Tree,
- I am a self-sufficient Unix PC,
- Happy as only a PC can be,
- With an OS that's 32-bit and
- free, Free, FREE!

- Who cares that I have no corporations's label
- when I have such a neat process table?
- I don't need Microsoft, or IBM, or Apple,
- Just me and Linus, and allSEGMENTATION FAULT: CORE DUMPED.
