No, many are perfectly fine as most of the Unix system calls are reasonably well simulated and return reasonable errnos. > > The problem here is the code in bnet_open(), which uses errno directly with > save_errno. Yes, I've already taken a note of this when I saw the trace. This must be one of those system calls that is not properly simulated. I've noted it for fixing at some point ... > > __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
