Apart from sshd (OpenSSH), which started dying from SIGFPE (floating
point exception, whatever that means :) a few days ago, it's working
OK.

We're running 2.4.5 from CVS (~ 2001-08-08) with the sysmips-patch,
self compiled with gcc 2.95.4.
(If you're interested, both the kernel and the patch can be found at
http://www.ping.uio.no/~toffer/linux-mips/.)

Hm. It's not entirely unusual for dist-upgrades to segfault in
various pre- and post-installation scripts. That doesn't happen very
often, though, and it seems to be the same packages every time
(e.g. zsh), so I'm not sure whether it is a Perl problem or not. I'll
try to take a closer look at it next time it happens.

I installed bind9 on the development box now, to see if I can
reproduce it.

Apart from xdm, which oopses all our Indys, I have seen very few
crashes like this on the various Indys I use. They are great X
terminals. :)
