I have been using linux emulation to run a spreadsheet and it has been working fine for a several upgrades. I just installed wordperfect 8 from the ports collection. When the installation was running, it reinstalled linux compatibility. The result of this installation is that I now can run programs under linux emulation only as root. They all seem to work fine including xwp. As a regular user, they all crash with a signal 11 segfault The fact that emulation is working under root leads me to believe that there is a permission problem, but I'm not sure where to look. Any ideas? A. -- Allan E.
