Since COFF-encapsulation is obsolete, this may not be needed anymore.

There's a bug in the Altos 3068 kernel that causes gcc-compiled
|
|
programs to fail in certain situations when the machine has a heavy
|
|
load and also in some other situations. The bug exists at least in
|
|
SVR 2.2 1.0gT1 and SVR 2.2 1.0e.
|
|
|
|
If you have source code to your system, apply the following change to
|
|
os/exec.c (function gethead):
|
|
|
|
Change the lines containing
|
|
|
|
u.u_exdata.ux_tstart = sizeof(struct naout) +
|
|
sizeof(struct filhd) + (ep->ef.nscns * sizeof(struct scnhdr));
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
u.u_exdata.ux_tstart = u.u_exdata.ux_txtorg;
|
|
|
|
If you only have binary, use sdb to find out the address of the
|
|
previous lines (on our system it's gethead+0x140) and use your
|
|
favourite binary editor to change the bytes '3036 0162 fffc 0002 0280
|
|
0000' to '23f9 01fb f4ca 01fb f4c2 6016'. This may or may not work in
|
|
your case, depending on the version of the operating system and the
|
|
phase of the moon.
|
|
|
|
Here's what is just before gethead+0x140 to ease finding out the right place:
|
|
|
|
0x9224 (gethead+0x122): 23f9 01fb f4ca 01fb f4ce mov.l &0x1fbf4ca.L,&0
|
|
x1fbf4ce.L []
|
|
0x922e (gethead+0x12c): 23f9 01fb f4c6 01fb f4ca mov.l &0x1fbf4c6.L,&0
|
|
x1fbf4ca.L []
|
|
0x9238 (gethead+0x136): 23f9 01fb f4c2 01fb f4c6 mov.l &0x1fbf4c2.L,&0
|
|
x1fbf4c6.L []
|
|
|
|
Good luck !
