Going back to Sun, the "new" read_binding_file is defined as:

	read_binding_file(char *bindfile, struct bind **hashtab,
     		int (*line_parser)(char *, int, char *, struct bind **))
     	
	Its a function pointer.


I asked if I could get more info on the call/changes and the answer was 
no, since this is supposed to be a kernel function.

I'll go and try and recompile and install and see if that works.
