I have a couple EMC2 systems using the Ubuntu 6.06 build from some time 
ago, with updated EMC on them.
I recently wanted to check the latency numbers, and ran into this when I 
tried to run latency-test :

./latency-test: line 136: halrun: command not found

After some poking around, it seem the last line of latency-test is

halrun lat.hal

And the file lat.hal dosn't exist.  So, for some reason, latency-test 
doesn't seem to be creating this file.
Any ideas?  Two systems with roughly the same history do the same thing.

--------------------
second thing ....  I was machining something yesterday, and right after 
starting up EMC, I couldn't set the X coordinates with the Axis "touch 
off" button.  It seemed like it had a 10.00" offset between where I was 
and where zero was.  The day before a program I had run left a 10.00 in 
variable #1.  I thought all the variables under 1000 were available to 
the user.  (The example at 13.2 in the user's manual uses #1 in a loop 
construct.)  I think I got it to go back to normal with an MDI command 
like #1=0.0, but I was stumbling around and in a hurry, so I didn't 
document what was going on as well as I should have.

-----------------
3rd thing :

The EMC2 system that runs my Bridgeport is current as of a couple months 
ago, and I've been having a LOT of problems with "stuck" jog keys.  I've 
had this happen several times in a couple hours - lucky to not have had 
a crash yet.  I suppose it really COULD be a bad keyboard, but usually 
hitting the jog key again resets it.  This seems to be the old missed 
key-up message thing we've had for some time.  I think some other users 
have reported this same behavior, but it isn't totally clear it is the 
same thing I'm seeing.  Anybody else see this from time to time?
