I just retrieved Mush 7.0.4 and built it. It runs fine until I try to go into curses mode, when it terminates with a bus error. Dbx stack trace gives me these functions: kill abort cleanup bus_n_seg telldir ttyname typeahead newscreen initscr32 curses_init exec_argv ... Now, the environment I'm using is IRIX 3.2 (System V 3.2 with lots of BSD flavour thrown in). Mush 6.4 worked beautifully before (and still does); 7.0.4 works until I try to get into curses. Can anybody shed light on why curses dies when it's initializing? Thanks in advance...

Most likely, your system has its own versions of the BSD directory(3) library, which are conflicting with the replacement versions in glob.c. Recompile glob.o from glob.c with -DBSD and relink. If that isn't sufficient, you might also try recompiling everything with both SYSV and HPUX defined -- that should cover most such odd hybrid systems.

I found the problem, and it was what you said. However, compiling with -DBSD barfs, and so does -DHPUX. Soooo, I made a simple mod that fixed it; I thought I'd pass it on. One question first, though: now, when I quit from my mailbox, csh tells me every time that I have new mail (when I don't). What's causing this? Anyway, with thanks to Barton, here are the diffs: << README.orig >> README 113a114,117 > Silicon Graphics Iris workstations should have -DIRIX in the CFLAGS > in the makefile.

Where can I ftp mush7.0 from?
Thanks.
