The latest Debian GNU/Hurd system should come up nicely when booted in multi user mode (don't specify "-s" in Grub). It will mount it read only first, and then e2fsck it (as controlled in /libexec/rc). Make sure that /var/run/mtab exists but is empty. > Personally, I think it'd be a little more conveniant if you could instruct > ext2fs.static to fsck the partition so it won't be so suprised.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but theother problems are uncommon to me (beside the memory leaks, and I can't help with those :) Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
