- The following script says pretty much everything I think:
-
- bash$ uname -a
- ULTRIX rutland 4.2 0 RISC
- bash$ cat > a.c
- main() {vfork();pause();}
- bash$ cc a.c
- bash$ ./a.out &
- [1] 3428
- bash$ ps x
- PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
- Segmentation fault
- bash$ kill %1
- [1]+ Terminated ./a.out
- bash$ c89 a.c
- bash$ ./a.out &
- [1] 3436
- bash$ ps x
- PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
- Segmentation fault
- bash$ kill %1
- [1]+ Terminated ./a.out
- bash$ type ps
- ps is /bin/ps
- bash$ exit
-
- So what do the new OS's (4.2A/4.3) provide over 4.2? (Other than presumably a
- fix to this bug.) We haven't got gcc on this machine - but I expect the result
- would be pretty much the same.
-
- Is there a list of patches available for the OS as on Suns?
-
- Cheers,
