Index: bin/adb/adb.vax/runpcs.c 4.3BSD-tahoe Fix Description: The exect() `system call', which adb uses to start binaries on the VAX, is unnecessary and leads to incorrect behaviour if the exec() fails. Repeat-by: % adb no-such-file cannot open `no-such-file' :s stopped at <addr>: jmp <other-addr> Fix: After ptrace(PT_TRACE_ME), a simple execve() suffices. Change the one occurrence in adb, and any others you find anywhere else. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
