Sorry - I should of mentioned that. With my fake uname library in place, I do indeed get that dialogue box. But to try to catch a truss or some better idea of why it thought I was now wrong, I was running it by hand without the wrapper script to get that crash... Sorry I left this out. Mark.

Mark, Thanks for the report. You're right. Something is wonky for Solaris 8. We'll have this fixed in a few hours. (On a real Solaris 8 box, you should have gotten a dialog box telling you that the distribution wasn't supported instead of the crash.) It'll be back being supported some time today.

Abort (core dumped) A bit of research shows that the distributions.xml file (when ungzipped) has two <distro> blocks at the top for Solaris 7 and 8, both marked <status> "internal", and then Solaris 7 and 8 both turn up again lower down as retired and supported respectively, and 9 shown as presupported. In all cases the same uname commands and responses are shown for the <detect> block. As far as I can make out, no other OS shows the same version twice with different statii (Latin was never my strong point ;O) and the distributions file was updated last night... Can I surmise that these "internal" blocks were left in by mistake, and are causing this problem, or do I suddenly have a compatibility problem here? I should point out I'm actually running on a new Solaris 10 alpha build, and am using a LD_PRELOADed uname-fixing library to get red-carpet to work on it. Not supported, but worked nicely thank you up until now ;O)
