Ouch. It was actually supposed to work on Indys, regardless of the processor type. Since it's no longer working things must somewhow got broken again.

Can you send me: - the exact screen output. Especially the register dump following the Aiee message is important. - the output of the hinv command. Hinv is an IRIX command. > Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. In nomeni patrii et filiae et spiritus pinguini ;-) Ralf
