The problem, of course, is line 34, columns 6 of your source file /home/pthonda/src/work/semutils.c, in the function "initsem()". Since you didn't properly initialize the ctl_buf2 array, the 3rd element (which you are in this case referencing) is null. Dereferencing it naturally causes your SPARCServer 4/490 running SunOS 4.1.1 to coredump, since the first 8K is not mapped. ;-) ;-) ;-) It always helps to include lots of info when you ask a question like this. A code fragment would help, along with what compiler, what version of UNIX, etc. Perhaps then we can help you. -- pfalstad@phoenix.princeton.edu The Germans are disputing it! Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-absolutistic ethics; Kant, by the categorical imperative, is holding it ontologically exists only in the imagination; and Marx is claiming it was off sides.
