[ARGUS] Re: bug?

[Peter Van Epp]

	Thats the ticket! Thanks. Carter: it looks like adding -mcpu=v9 to 
CFLAGS when Solaris9 is found would be a good start. I haven't (in my extensive
test of the same data file 4 times :-)) seen the seg faults Andrew refers to
though. In any case here are the same numbers as for the FreeBSD boxes and the
Mac on what I think is a 4 processor Sunfire 280 to local disk (rather that
the Netapp the provides home directory service here). A fair bit faster, but
I expect a lot more expensive too. I'm reasonably sure this machine/kernel is 64
bits (because we had trouble with identd and had to upgrade GCC to get it to
work correctly here) so this may be a short term answer to the 64 bit question
on Solaris for those that were working on it (modulo the seg faults).
	As I get time I'll run other files here and see if I can cause a
bus error and see if we can figure out what it is.
