Given that we get subtle ptrace breakages quite regularly, it would be nice to see this eventually get resolved. "The implementation is the specification" doesn't seem to work well in this case. BTW, things have improved around UML quite a bit recently, and I think this is to no small amount due to Paolo's work. - Werner -- _________________________________________________________________________ / Werner Almesberger, Buenos Aires, Argentina wa@almesberger.net / /_http://www.almesberger.net/____________________________________________/ ------------------------------------------------------- This Newsletter Sponsored by: Macrovision For reliable Linux application installations, use the industry's leading setup authoring tool, InstallShield X.
