It is misbehaving, and the classic printf is not getting the debugging data out from the kernel in the way i would expect. I would like it to show up in an rxvt or xterm so i can ship it too him for his perusal. With just a printf, it just shows up overlaid on the console ( and is invisible under X ). This sucks. There is now way that i can run this app and then try to exit from x and copy it all down by hand. anysuggestions? thanks! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
