This one is really ugly and can bite so many ports. I'm a bit disappointed to see no recent signs of work on this. At least I understand the issue, if not a solution. Your suggestion looks good, but it affects a lot of stuff and I'm not confident that will be easy to deal with some areas (i.e.portmaster) without triggering other problems and I am nowhere near a good enough shell person to even try to figure it out. -- R.
