Alan, Thanks for the good news. The "prctl" test is a bit fragile and I probably should consider removing many of the cases it tests. If that is the only problem seen, then I'd not be concerned. However, if you /do/ take the time to track down precisely how the prctl test fails, I would appreciate hearing about it. -Paul Alan Woodland wrote: > 2009/11/7 Paul H.
