[ic] IC 4.8.5 under FreeBSD 4.6 and 4.5 and trouble with genconfig andversion.tag

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Joachim Leidinger)]

Hi List,

Sascha Klauder and I notice a misbavior with IC 4.8.5, which is running 
under FreeBSD 4.5 and 4.6.

Sascha and I get a perl core dump file, if we logged in as an 
administrator and clicked the button "Administration". Sascha has tried 
out, that this happen, if a function getpwuid from the usertag 
version.tag is called. If we comment the line like

#               push @out, scalar getpwuid($>) . " (uid $>)";

in the usertag version.tag, it works well.

I've an older FreeBSD machine with version 4.4 with the same perl 
Verions 5.6.1_6 and IC Version 4.8.5. The page "genconfig" works well with

                push @out, scalar getpwuid($>) . " (uid $>)";

Any idea, why we get the trouble with FreeBSD 4.5/4.6 and IC 4.8.5, if 
we are calling the page genconfig in UI?

Please, all FreeBSD and IC users should tell me any kind of trouble and 
experience with IC running under FreeBSD, because I will arrange to meet 
Racke. I want support IC to run IC very well under FreeBSD. I can not 
promise! But I know some person, who has a  good relationship to the 
members of the FreeBSD core team and my brother itself is a commiter of 
the FreeBSD ports system.

Thanks!

Joachim
