I had assumed that I was triggering some sort of debug case as I could not ever find any reference on the net or in bug reports. I just assumed it was some config error on my part. As most of the processes on this machine are non-interactive, I almost never triggered this issue and so never pursued any resolution. I'll try not to be so apathetic in the future. :-) -- john -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
