I have compiled GCC 1.37.1 using the rcc compiler under SCO Unix. However when I try to go to stage2 by using the stage1 compiler I just created it locks up when trying to compile 'c-parse.tab.c'. The HD light stays on and I need to reboot to stop it. It seems odd to me that I can hang the machine running from a non-root process. I have also noticed the same problem when trying to run programs compiled under GCC, downloaded from BBS's etc. Is this a known problem? Is there a known workaround? It seems to hit when disk IO gets heavy or when lots of swapping is done (guess that is really just a special case of heavy disk IO). PS. I recall mention of an SCO mailing list. Is there such a beast? If so how does one get on it? Brian Waters <backbone>!{iuvax|pur-ee}!bsu-cs!jbwaters -- Brian Waters <backbone>!{iuvax|pur-ee}!bsu-cs!jbwaters
