- I had the same problems with .99, not only with 'uucico' but
- also with 'uucp'. I done loaded the source and tried compiling
- it with -fwritable-strings, But still gave me sig 11's.
-
- After using gdb, determined it was dumping core in the system
- call 'sigaction()' called by sys1.c. To get around this, I
- changed the #define HASSIGACTION (spelling?) in conf.h from 1
- to 0. This caused gcc to use one of a couple other signal functions.
- It seemed to have fix my segmentation violation problems.
-
- Has anyone else run across sigaction() failing, and if so, do
- you know why?
