System name: x15-cruise-basselope.mit.edu
Type and version: Ultra-5_10 8.2.9 (with mkserv)
Display type: afb
What were you trying to do?
Run Sun's make (either /usr/ccs/bin/make or /usr/xpg4/bin/make)
What's wrong:
When I invoke Sun's make as "make" rather than with an
explicit path, it segfaults and dies if PATH is longer than
a certain length (a bit over 1k characters).
Since Sun doesn't seem to be aware of this bug, here are
further details they may find useful: When my PATH is just
long enough to trigger the segfault, I get a backtrace of
avo_find_run_dir_init(?) + a0
avo_new_handler_c(0xeffff0c8,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0) + c
__0FIavo_initPc(0xeffff0c8,0x8cf58,0x0,0xef626e90,0xef622cfc,0xef598c20) + 4
main(0x2,0xefffef24,0x12,0x8bc00,0x0,0x0) + 24
(When PATH is longer, the call stack gets clobbered.)
What should have happened:
Not that.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Uhm, make(1).
