When I save Mathematica notebook files, I get a file with the notebook content plus about 6MB of Null-Bytes at the end of the file. After deleting the Null bytes in the file, everything works fine again. Does anybody know about this problem and possible solutions? Is it due to the Linux emulation on FreeBSD? I am using FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE XFree86 v3.2 fvwm2 Pentium 150MHz Mathematica 3.0 in a.out format When running Mathematica, I get only several lines of the well know and harmless(?) message: LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=8, typ=0x89(), num=0x27 not implemented >From Mathematica Support, I got the following: > I still have no info on the null character problem > but we do have one other user with the same problem. and: > Unfortunately, we do not support FreeBSD or any other > emulations of Linux or other systems, so I can not offer > much help.
