Hi,
I am using the Blue Moon Rendering Tools on NetBSD-1.3.3, the latest
version of it aborts, just after completing rendering, but before
printing some messages and statistics with an unimplemented
system call.
Here are the last messages of a ktrace output:
----------------------- begin ktrace output ---------------
[...]
6964 rendrib CALL write(0x1,0x4830e000,0x26)
6964 rendrib GIO fd 1 wrote 38 bytes
"\rDone computing image.
"
6964 rendrib RET write 38/0x26
6964 rendrib CALL #162 (unimplemented nanosleep)
6964 rendrib PSIG SIGSYS SIG_DFL
------------------------- end ktrace output ---------------
What irritates me is that there is a nanosleep man page, and the
message seems to indicate that the kernel knows about the nanosleep
function, but it is not (yet?) implemented.
Is there anything I can do about this? This is not as such a real
problem, since rendering itself is completed successfully.
