hi stephen
i just successfully built 21.5.7 with mule here on my FreeBSD-4.6 box
the strange thing about this is that the previous crashes i saw when
doing a make ckeck didnt happen
i did a build without mule and it crashed when doing make check
im not sure how to track down why this happens but this may help with
tracking down the problem
build reports for both builds have been sent
