Anyway, what we should be doing is getting the true name of the executable and looking for the dump file right next to it, and I'm pretty sure we're not.

Current score: Red Hat "System Vandals" 0, Portable Dumper 2. Not to mention a 1-0 defeat of SuSE, and something like 8 ports (including MacOS/X) without writing an unexec. The structures used in pdump are a major part of current efforts to modularize and eventually improve the garbage collector. For these reasons, --pdump will most likely be the default in 21.5.10 and 21.4.11 on Linux, possibly global default in 21.5.10. We'll deal with the complaints as they come, but --pdump has been dealing with library and toolchain upgrades like a champ. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
