Apparently, there are other BSD's that don't have this problem. Hopefully this will be fixed one day. I'm only sending you this email to acknowledge that your situation is a symptom of a more global problem. If I'm incorrect about the above, please feel free to correct me. As I said, I'm just regurgitating what I've read on this list. Best Regards, -jj -- Users of C++ should consider hanging themselves rather than shooting their legs off--it's best not to use C++ simply as a better C.
