In regard to the message I recently sent, I forgot to mention that I am
running 2.0.0 with the upgrades from RedHat, so things should be
up-to-date.

Subject: compiler warning in Byte benchmarks

I just downloaded the Byte benchmarks and ran them on two of my
machines. They compiled and ran OK but I got the following warning.

VFS: Warning: looper using old stat() call. Recompile your binary.

over and over again.

What does this mean? What should be done?

Also, amusingly enough, the same source file did not compile in the
straightforward way on my SS20 in the office (Solaris 2.5), although it
seems to be running OK.

Thanks,
