zsh on Solaris 2.6

zsh on Solaris 2.6

[anthony.bowles]

Hi,

I compiled zsh 3.0.6 and 3.1.6 under Solaris 2.6.

However when I run it I get the following error :

$ ./zsh
zsh: fatal error: out of memory

I've tried the various memory options at the configure stage without
success. 

I've tried compiling with the SUN compiler v4.2 and the GNU C compiler
v2.8.1. Both have this problem.

Any information/help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Anthony.

3.1.6 at least has been tested under Solaris 2.6 and runs fine, so there
seems to be some strange interaction with something else going on.  Any
backtrace of how it's getting to this point would be helpful (e.g. maybe
it's trying to copy something strange from the environment).  If you get a
chance, it might be useful to change the `exit(1)' after the three lines in
Src/mem.c which produce that error message to `abort()', compile with
CFLAGS=-g, run, and then run `gdb zsh core' on the coredump.
