While trying to build top, I ran into a ctype problem.  If built with
shared libraries, top core dumps on "isprint", trying to access the
_ctype_ array.  But the memory where _ctype_ is supposed to be is
inaccessable:


  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----  -----
[root@stingray]src/usr.local.bin/top# gdb ./top
Reading symbol data from /local/src/othersrc/top/top...done.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /local/src/othersrc/top/top

Program received signal 11, Segmentation fault
Reading in symbols for display.c...done.
0x43c8 in printable (str=(char *) 0x2da80 "nfsd") (display.c line 1048)
1048            if (!isprint(ch))

(gdb) print /x _ctype_
$1 = 0x4b363120

(gdb) print * (char *) _ctype_
ptrace: Invalid argument.
Cannot read memory: address 0x4b363120 out of bounds.

If linked statically, this problem disappears.  What's up with
_ctype_?  I'm running the current tar files from the weekend before
last.
