Is the description of the 'freezing' of dillo given in the README an uptodate description of the problem. This implies that it is a kernel version effect... I originally compiled dillo0.6.6 against slack 7, kernel 2.4.5 (IIRC, or even 2.2.18) with no problems. However dillo0.7.0 does freeze, even when compiled against the headers for, and run under, kernel 2.4.19. BUT it compiles and runs ok when compiled under slack8.1, with the same headers and kernel. Is this a gcc problem? (I'm using 2.91.66 with slack 7). (The suggested patch poll-fix-fast of course does not run in cleanly against 0.7.0., and though the source compiles the executable still freezes). Sorry if I've missed something on this. Bob Hall PS it all compiles fine on the playstation2 linux kit with the 2.2.21 kernel, and a real old gcc -- robert w hall
