Ah, no!  I was cruising the list archives and saw your messages.  I
stupidly assumed from the fact that there was a FAQ relating to BSDI
that there were a number of people running it using 3.0, but of
course it doesn't *say* that <grin>.

I haven't had any problems with my Python.  I didn't run a make test,
but I didn't get any of those number related error messages you
mentioned.  I use Python extensively for sysadmin scripting, and it
has been working fine (modulo a little popen hang problem I ran into
in upgrading to 1.5.2).  I don't think I tried to install 1.5.2 on
a 3.0 system, though; all my boxes were at 4.0 before I started the
upgrade from 1.4.

I *do* have Zope running fine on a FreeBSD 3.1 box.  Compiled, 
installed, and ran with no problems.  If it weren't that I'm afraid
of breaking customer CGI scripts, I'd be tempted to just upgrade
the BSDI box to FreeBSD.

So how did you make that -rdynamic change, and are you sure it
actually "took" during the compile process?
