FreeBSD

  1. I can't compile and run multithreaded applications.

    Special compile-time flags are required when compiling threaded applications on FreeBSD. If you are compiling a threaded application, you must compile with the _THREAD_SAFE and -pthread flags: 

    cc -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread ...

    The Berkeley DB library will automatically build with the correct options.

  2. I get occasional failures when running RPC-based programs under FreeBSD clients.

    There is a known bug in the XDR implementation in the FreeBSD C library from version 2.2 up to version 4.0-RELEASE, that causes certain-sized messages to fail and return a zero-filled reply to the client. A bug report (#16028) has been filed with FreeBSD. The following patch is the FreeBSD fix: 

    *** /usr/src/lib/libc/xdr/xdr_rec.c.orig	Mon Jan 10 10:20:42 2000
--- /usr/src/lib/libc/xdr/xdr_rec.c	Wed Jan 19 10:53:45 2000

  	 * but we don't have any way to be certain that they aren't
