Following Apple's patch, I configured and then edited the file config.h to remove the lines 391 /* Define to 1 if you have the `poll' function. */ 392 /* #define HAVE_POLL 1 */ 393 394 /* Define to 1 if you have the header file. */ 395 /* #define HAVE_POLL_H 1 */ Then compiled and installed and the problem went away. However, I have two questions: 1. What did I do, and is it harmful? 2. When root uses zsh (either the one I compiled or the one Apple provided) the problem returns. What's going on with that? Thanks.
