[pocket-linux] Problem Chapter 3: RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28!= 32768) 4194304

[Eric Wanchic]

FYI: Ah! Sorry. I made a mistake last night. This list was only for
/bin/ldd, not from my source code. I was just copying text last night and
re-editing it to fit, but I forgot to reedit a line or too. Here are the two
bashes again. Sorry for the confusion.

 Here is my seperate source code version:

    bash# ldd /home/ewanchic/Bash/bash-3.0/bash
      linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
      libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40034000)
      libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40037000)
      /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux/so/2 (0x40000000)

Oh, ok. That might make a difference. I'm defintely going to try that first.
I'm glad we getting all of this hammered away. :)

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I think if some of the other stuff still
doesn't work, then I'm going to bug the people over at bash. I should really
do that anyway just to get to the bottom of that phantom file
linux-gate.so.1. Thanks for all of your help. I'll keep you posted.
