Message-ID: <124@osu-eddie.UUCP> Date: Wed, 28-Nov-84 16:47:40 EST Article-I.D.: osu-eddi.124 Posted: Wed Nov 28 16:47:40 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 29-Nov-84 05:47:32 EST Sender: karl@osu-eddie.UUCP Organization: Society for the Advancement of Raw Weirdness Lines: 24 From: karl (Karl Kleinpaste) I'm seriously confused... We have been doing some major hacking on csh, particularly in the area of rewriting the tcsh editor interface. (If you're interested, when it's done, it'll edit in either vi or emacs style.) However, in tracking down a core-dump bug which affects us only on our Suns, it was discovered that that the symbol HZ, defined in sh.local.h, is #defined as 100. Now, obviously, HZ is the ac line frequency; why would it ever be 100? (Has Berkeley got some really strange power requirements?) Two fortune cookies to the person who can tell me why HZ should be 100... Also, as I said, the core-dump bug only affects the Suns. It has to do with a modification made to periodically note who has logged in and out by reading /etc/utmp. Any thoughts on that subject would be nice, too. -- From the badly beaten keyboards of best address---+ him who speaks in _*_T_y_P_e_* _f-_O-_n-_T-_s... | V Karl Kleinpaste @ Bell Labs, Columbus 614/860-5107 {cbosgd,ihnp4}!_c_b_r_m_a_!_k_k @ Ohio State University 614/422-0915 cbosgd!osu-eddie!karl
