Thanks for trying it. Too bad it didn't make any difference. You might as well go back to the default value of 1 at this point. At 0, its net effect is more or less to make vfork() act like fork(). Since it didn't solve the dying daemons problem, you're better off with the default value. John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
