I've manage to narrow it down a little, and it happens I get that error after I try to save the openfirmware cif_address in memory, which is kind of awkward, as the whole binary is no bigger than several kb, after being converted to an a.out. So there shouldn't be any overflow of the mapped memory, which should be 8mb. Does anybody have any suggestions? -- Razvan Ghitulete Universitatea Politehnica Bucuresti -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
