Some translators were broken in gnu-0.2. They are long fixed now. Do you really use gnu-0.2? You should really try new glibc 2.0.106 and Debian packages of hurd and gnumach, as those are the very edge of development. A lot of bugs are fixed there. AFAIK, the new packages even are compatible with the old binaries. You can find glibc packages at alpha.gnu.org. Hurd and gnumach packages are in the Debian archive. ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-hurd-i386/base/gnumach_19981118-1.deb and so on. Bye, Marcus
