AFAIK Linux emulation on AMD64 works only for 32-bit code, so you have practically two emulation layers: linux-freebsd and 32-64. There's all kinds of things that might go wrong. This is a "generic" answer, I don't really know the exact answer to your question. --------------enig1244B9A99B721CFF6203F321 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHI5noldnAQVacBcgRApYwAKD1OcizuNeYJwFHpx/WUTaQroZiJgCfam8D QTIn7JQU8V8+51lkr9NepgY= =51F4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig1244B9A99B721CFF6203F321--
