/snip
and I call it like this :
snip
%result = subname(params);
/snip
now, I want to detect when that functin fails

Hi Alan,
As usual, I don't know who to forward it to, and you seem to always
deal with stuff so swiftly :)
So, the small bug is actually the fact that /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
doesn't exist in the RedHat 7 and RawHide X11 distributions.
This causes a few problems, among which:

a. an old 16 bit PDP 11
b. a not so old segmented architecture 8086
c. a you-beauty P4 screamer
2. The printf
He says that feature bloat is good, because the 80/20 law is wrong. I
think he ignores the obvious - you may say "the linux way",
or probably
