I did talk with a few of them... and the dicussions led to nowhere.  Most 
of the other people run Applix out-of-the-box without any problem.

Okay, I just did that.  Seems like the last call through the linux compat 
LKM is getdents(.....)

I have put a log file on WC server
(ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/applix.log)  
which demonstrates the debug messages of the linux LKM.

BTW:  The other executable (/cdrom/unpacked/builder) also freezes during 
the same call.

Alex.
