Thanks to Jon for pointing this out and proviing further details. I now have a 
fix for this problem, whereby what caused a busy wait on some operating systems 
will actually stop xpp responding to the user on a recent Debian release. I 
have attached a patch which should work on any version downloaded in the last 
18 months or so.

To use the patch, copy it into /tmp say, then go to your ProofPower build 
directory (where config and install live) and do:

        gunzip -c /tmp/patch-2.9.1w2.rda.120821.gz | patch -p1 -b -B orig/

then do:

        PPTARGETS=xpp ./configure
        ./install -d

Regards,

Rob.
