[Pdns-users] pdns_recursor seg fault on startup on Solaris 8

[Kenneth Marshall]

I am trying to get the recursor working on Solaris 8. When I
start it, I get a Bus Error after the root cache is loaded:

When running it under truss here are the final few lines before
the errer:

Does anyone have any ideas on what to try next? I saw a similar thread
in the archives, but there was no resolution.
