System name:		podge
Type and version:	KN01 7.3P
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?

	Run zwgc

What's wrong:

	zwgc dumped core on startup:

[14]% dbx zwgc ~/core
dbx version 2.10.1
Type 'help' for help.
Corefile produced from file "zwgc"
Child died at pc 0x42dea4 of signal : Illegal instruction
reading symbolic information ...
[using memory image in /mit/ckclark/core]
(dbx) where
>  0 bzero.bzero(0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x402914) ["../bzero.s":52, 0x42dea0]
   1 mux_init(0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x10017614) ["mux.c":73, 0x4065e4]
   2 main.main(0x7fffbca4, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0) ["main.c":224, 0x402910]
(dbx)

mux_init() probably called FD_ZERO with a bad pointer.

Core dump in /mit/coredumps/zwgc.core.decmips.ckclark.911102.Z

What should have happened:

	It should not dump core.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	zwgc(1)
