>Organization:
Shockwave Engineering
>Environment:

System is an i386/33 with an ESDI drive on wd0.
Boostrap floppy from the 951026 snapshot.
Installing "Kern-Developer" distribution via FTP from user-specified URL.

The URL pointed to what was *supposed* to be a mirror of ftp.cdrom.com,
but wasn't because I forgot to copy down the proflibs directiory contents
but just had an empty proflibs/ subdirectory.

>Description:

Install is going just fine, the manual pages extract and I get:

"Fatal signal 11 caught! I'm dead."

on VTY2, the last messages were:

DEBUG: Parsing attributes file for distribution proflibs
DEBUG: Aborting FTP connection
DEBUG: FTP shutdown called.  FTP = 197880

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to install 951026 on an empty machine via ftp from a user-specified URL
with proflibs empty.
