I re-cvsupped the sources and voila - xsysinfo(1) works again. Obviously I met "the right moment"[TM] with my last update... :-/ ...never mind. > Note the xsysinfo gropes around in KVM, which is > highly fragile.

I looked at the sources, but did not get the basic understanding - at least not instantly. In the moment i try to improove gvinum together with le. There are still some areas where gvinum can't be called 'fail-save' - as I experienced last weekend... Anyway - thanks a lot again!
