Hmm, I saw that in the code, but I'm not totally convinced. As I read it, somewhere down the bottom of everything the linux sigaction system call is made and it is expecting the new type sigaction. Linux is expecting distributors to recompile #including the new headers which would result in it all just working. Unfortunately ecos copies and pastes the old struct definition hence remains out of step. Valgrind seems to second my reading of this in that it whinges about uninitialized data being passed to sigaction without my mods, and is happy with them.

Orbiting that sun is a small rock 330000 times smaller than that sun. This rock is covered by a very very thin scum of life. (Think 6000km of rock followed by a meter or so of biomass.) Amongst the millions of species in that scum are many hundreds of thousands of types beetle and a mere handful of primates. Surprisingly enough, this email does not originate from a beetle. It originates from just one of the 6 billion vastly outnumbered humans. I trust you will keep this perspective and context in mind when reacting to this email. -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
