I've just fixed the database bug that was causing me grief with 'make check'. It was simply that htdig -i wasn't removing=20 db.words.db_weakcmpr (which I had reported earlier but not fixed --=20 Doh!!) which was corrupting the free-list of pages used when=20 compression was not as efficient as predicted. The only other DB problem I know of is the problem of infinite=20 recursion when "weak compression" needs to allocate a page, but=20 mp_alloc needs to write out a dirty page. Have you tried the hack I=20 suggested a couple of months ago? Getting make check to work under RedHat and OSX would also be great. > I picked up a copy of Sleepycat Software's Berkely DB > book on the discount rack for six bucks. Bargain! |
