>Description:
The first popen/fgets/pclose works once but not twice. A test program
compiled on BSDI BSD/OS 2.0 will fail on freeBSD 3.x, the same program 
compiled on a 2.x freeBSD machine will work on freeBSD 3.x. The test prorgam
is a simple for loop that does a popen of the data command, displays its's
output and then does a pclose. Only the first time through the loop displays
any output. Have also found that the system function does the same thing, works
once but never again.
