Thanks, I considered this as a possibility and I thought I may have misspoke. I did not have source code on a FreeBSD system to look at. I would have to attribute the fact that it now runs unmodified on FreeBSD to changes made elsewhere in the source code, but that is largely conjecture. Is it possible that at this point only Linux is affected? No one has chimed in that it has failed on a non-Linux box. I am not a programmer, and I don't have the skills to determine if the problem lies in the Linux kernel. Is it possible other OSs may handle the exception in a more graceful manner? Maybe a kernel geek could tell. Gary V ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
