I believe Solaris 8 added a security measure that causes the stack frame to not be executable by default (to try and catch buffer overflow exploits). Perhaps your compiler's runtime/compiler create stack trampolines for procedure passing and such. look in /etc/system for something to the effect of: set noexec_user_stack = 1 and try setting it to a zero, if you have it. You will have to reboot to change it. Dave Brown
