Okay.  Should I wait before trying further until this is in?

Perhaps I'll further-acquaint myself with the use of gdb and see
if I can't provide more definitive data on why it's bus-error'ing.

Doh.  Perhaps if I read more of the code I would've figured that
out, eh?

I wonder if part of the problem is this: for whatever reason (I no
longer remember) a co-admin of mine had a problem with GNU make and
renamed it to gmake.  So when I run "make", I actually have to run
"gmake" if I want the GNU make.  But that doesn't *appear* to be the
major problem.  I run into things like problems with "-O2" and "-Wall",
which the Sun devsys compiler doesn't accept.

I'll stay subscribed to the list to watch developments.  But other than
maybe taking a shot at seeing if I can't debug the bus error problem on
the system here at home, I'll suspend further attempts until some of
the new stuff you've mentioned here is in place.

Guess I'm stuck with PGP for a while.  <shrug>

Thanks for the follow-up.


Regards,
Jim
