Well, having had a _very_ short and satisfying conversation with RSI's 
technical support people, I'm extremely pleased to announce that
the Linux version of RSI's IDL (Interactive Data Language) is working
properly under FreeBSD-current.

Until Peter's recent changes, the demo worked, but the license manager
refused to accept valid keys.  This is no longer the case.

Hats off to Peter and Soren; looks like I owe a few beers around the place!
