That might explain the broken flock() message for agetty, but I compiled
my kernel (ELF) using libc-5.2.18 and I still got a broken flock() message
while running lpd.

On the side:

With the new kernels and using the 'w' command, my friends and I can't
seem to determine what the last command passed to the shell was by users
(under the heading What). All we'd get was a dash (-) and we certainly
weren't 'su'ed.

Also with the new kernels (1.3.95+), 'top' would result in the following:

9:44pm up 20 min, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
28 processes: 0 sleeping, 0 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.9% user, 0.0% system, 0.9% nice, 99.1% idle
Mem: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free, 0K shrd, 0K buff
Swap: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free

Floating point exception

I'd go and get a new version of top to try and see if it was just a bug
in the older version, but I don't know where to get a hold of the source.
Anyone?
