Jan - I'm just trying to get some IRIX people to test this. As it is now available in CVS, perhaps some people will try. BTW, my work is likely acquiring some SGI machines, so I may have a chance to test this stuff out myself. I thought that Alexandre's patch was different from the one you had rejected, although I did not look closely at it. Do you want me to back it out of CVS?
