NODE 78ee440ePGP Tools on Linux "Rev. Mark Grant" <mark@unicorn.com>Thu, 10 Aug 95 06:15:34 PDT

Did anyone ever get PGP Tools working on Linux ? I can compile it, but it 
has a marked tendency to get SEGVs when destroying fifos...

Yea, I did a long time ago.  There was a bug in the code that caused
destroying fifos to do this -- it would free the fifo and then try to
set it, or something like that.  You have to reorder a few commands to
fix the problem.

I've not looked at PGPTools in a long time, so I can't give you any
more detailed information.

No, it's not that one, I'm afraid - this version works fine on SunOS and 
has that fix in it... it just won't work on Linux.
