Subject: Segmentation Fault Problem
Newsgroups: net.lang.c,net.micro.68k
Distribution: net
Keywords: segmentation fault core dump
I am running a CADMUS 9730; a 68010 based system using CADMUS' Rel
3.9 Version of UNIX (tm AT&T) System V (somewhere in between Rel 1
and 2 - no Rel 3 at all).
About 60-70% of the source programs I save from the net.sources;
or mod.sources USENET distribution, after I get them to compile,
when run produce the following message:
Segmentation fault: core dump
While I have some notion of what that means, I haven't a clue as
to any "code" I can introduce that will avoid the basic problem.
It is extremely annoying to spend hours getting, for example rn or
the news 2.11 to compile at all (CADMUS has some strange places
for lib and include files, definitely "non-standard") and then to
find that any attempt to run the program/executable file will dump
a core an at the same time lock up the tty.
If any kind and knowledgeable soul out there has any suggestions
for some code or way to convert "portable" sources to this machine
so as to avoid the problem, I'd greatly appreciate e-mail or a
posting if you think it would benefit other 68k users.
Thanks in advance.
