It would be nice to find out why it core dumped to try to avoid it in the 
future. But perhaps, some other time...

Summary:  make_services causes a core dump on FreeBSD 4.8

Original Submission:  Under FreeBSD 4.8, with the cvs version of core, 
make_services  crashes with a core dump (signal 11). In fact, every application 
using GUI seem to crash the same way (I tested Affiche.app, GNUMail.app, 
ImageViewer.app). Rebuilding the whole core and reinstalling it (after erasing 
the /usr/local/GNUstep directory) does'nt solve the problem.

Additionnaly, gdomap uses a lot of CPU (allmost 90%). However, applications 
without gui using DO seem to work.

Thanks for investigating.

  Fred

First, make_services crashed because of an old .GNUstepAppList in 
GNUstep/Library/Services of the user home. The format changed and it was 
impossible to call deserializePropertyListFromData to retrieve oldMap without a 
core dump.

The problem with gdomap was solved recently by a patch for closing file 
descriptors.

The whole report can be closed.
