Okay, but I will have to wait until after work. :-) Debugging user code is still rather tedious under my setup. The problem should be easily reproducible - just delete "device:" from your root string and boot. If it works or prints a meaningful diagnostic, then I am on crack and should be ignored. But I think I can get you the source line where it happens. (It's actually in _hurd_ports_use() doing "xchg %eax,(%edx)" with %edx==0.) I am not so sure this should be considered a bug in libc, since by assuming the existence of the usual environment (including current directory) it can be faster the 99.999999% of the time that that environment exists. -John _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
