I dunno if it ``works'' as it needs a 256 colour X mode and I can't be bothered taking mine out of 16 bpp :-) Which leads to a question: I found this out by doing a kdump of the process. The reason it is failing is that it is trying to use mknod() to create fifos, where of course we need mkfifo(). Is there any way to get the Linux emulation layer to correct this? Perhaps if COMPAT_LINUX is defined in the kernel, and the right bitmask is passwd to mknod(), just have it call mkfifo()? Gary
