Description Scot Hetzel 2005-07-22 19:40:12 UTC 
A user had installed the www/frontpage port on the I386 arch.  The FreeBSD frontpage binaries require the compat4x libraries.  When he executed frontpage/version5.0/bin/owsadm.exe he received "Bad system call (core dumped)".  He had removed the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 from his kernel config.

Fix: 

Add a pkg-message comment for OSVERSION > 500000 to add COMPAT_FREEBSD4 to the kernel before using any program that needs the compat4x libraries.

Also, add a comment to the FreeBSD 5.x src/share/examples/etc/make.conf saying the same thing, since the compat4x libraries could have been installed from the FreeBSD sources.
How-To-Repeat: Build a FreeBSD 5.x kernel without COMPAT_FREEBSD4, install the compat4x libraries, and then run owsadm.exe.
