[osiris-devel] Osiris 2.4.4-stable released

[Alexei Roudnev]

2.4.-xx works onSolaris (2.7, 2.8 and 2.9), on all  Sparc-5, Netra T1 and
Enterprise systems without any problems. So, I suspect, in your case, one
of:
- wrong GCC defaults, or using wrong GCC version;
- different versions of osirismd and osirisd.

May be, it is because you compile it in 64bit mode?

I think, that proposed patch should not be applied at all, find another
solution (at least, patch must be wrapped so that it works for 64 bits
machines only).
It is a very bad idea - to change binary aligment just because one platform
have minor problems. (next, we will have 128Bit platform, so we should
change aligment again?)
