The OpenBSD folks seem to know about this one also. The ld (1) manpage says: BUGS Shared objects are not properly checked for undefined symbols. [...] OpenBSD 2.9 October 14, 1993 ----snip---- In the link you gave, it looked like provisions have been made in the development version of PostgreSQL 7.2 to work around this. Kind of a dumb linker bug... but our *BSD friends seem to think it's a feature. :-) Thanks, Tom Stowell >>> Peter Eisentraut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/14/01 16:37 PM >>> We have disqualified this as a linker bug pending OS developer feedback. See NetBSD PR 13486: http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=13486 No reponses yet.
