Yeah I have. In first email the line...
=09${EMULDIR}/sbin/ldconfig -r ${EMULDIR}
is straight from the pkg's Makefile and I have verfied it as being the=20
problem. It I take that line out of the makefile and run it the problem=20
occurs every time.
=09Experimenting with ldconfig causes the problem every time and under
X11 the machine has hung a couple of times too when I reset the clock bac=
k to=20
correct time (Another issue?). So I don't do that anymore.

I'll try just the ldconfig -r instead to reduce Mb. Would you (or anyone =
else)=20
like to see the output?

Take care,
