I'll approach the lqr problems as soon as I get a reliable phone line.... or maybe I'll start with a ppp link to another FreeBSD box. The malloc() problem is top of my list now - not much work really, it's just a matter (as Joerg also pointed out) of calling all the signal handlers from the top-level loop (rather than just the SIGALRM one). -- Brian , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
