>Description:
	While trying to build various packages in /usr/pkgsrc,
	/bin/sh dumps core at various times. Also, sometimes it will spin.
	Here's a list of the variouse cores that /bin/sh has dropped
		in /usr/pkgsrc/
	/usr/pkgsrc/archivers/gtar-info/work/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/audio/kdemultimedia2/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/cad/vipec/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/databases/db3/work/db-3.2.9/build_unix/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/databases/gdbm/work/gdbm-1.8.0/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/gettext/work/gettext-0.10.35/src/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/progs/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/test/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/lib/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)


>How-To-Repeat:
	As root:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses; make
	watch for multiple 'segmentation fault; core dumped' messages
>Fix:
	None known.

 I'd like to note that I've seen this too, on a Raq2 running 1.5.1.
 It's really only /bin/sh that bombs on this machine, nothing else. 

 I've worked around this by a "cp /bin/ksh /bin/sh" which works ok for
 pkgsrc, but a real fix would be VERY nice.

This is a Cobalt (or MIPS) problem.

Have you had a chance to try this with 1.6.1?

 Someone suggested a patch quite awhile ago.  I added it to my kernel 
 and didn't see the problem subsequent to that.  I believe that patch 
 came off the development branch between 1.5 and 1.6.1, so the fix 
 should be in 1.6.1.  I'm running 1.6.1 kernel now, but haven't updated 
 userland, and haven't rebuilt much pkgsrc stuff since the upgrade, so 
 while I can say I haven't seen the problem, I haven't had much chance 
 to expose it.

This problem would seem to be long since solved in our 1.6 release 
branch and onward.
