Dear arla-drinkers,
I'm not absolutely sure this issue is the concern of the folks who read this
list, but here goes - if I install getcwd.so in /lib and edit ld.so.preload a la
the suggestion in the arla INSTALL docs, I get the very nice effect of being
able to `pwd' when navigating AFS space. However, having done this, netscape
gives me a bus error on startup and dies. If I then remove the line
`/lib/getcwd.so' from ld.so.preload, netscape starts up just fine (but of course
then `pwd' can't find the current directory when dealing with AFS).
I'm using the beta of netscape 4.5 under Linux (kernel 2.1.111), but I believe I
saw the very same behavior with netscape 4.05. Does anyone else see this
behavior? I'm perfectly willing to believe it's a problem with netscape and
will echo this note to those folks if it seems appropriate.
Dave
