I'd rather not go that route if the maintainer have that attitude. On the other hand, I don't know that program at all. <strong irony on>I'm sure my FreeBSD server never crashed since the last office move (857 days ago) because no program on the server ever used anything like fork or threading, as it's only running Apache, exim, ..... Pretty bad for a system to not crash once in over 2.3 years.</off> BTW: I wonder how they keep up with the different distributions of Linux if they have problems adapting to a few FreeBSD releases. We're talking about a high level application and not some low level hardware stuff. Sorry, couldn't resist. Oliver
