My lame assumption is that modula3 uses userland threads that may be io blocking but intrupted with signals or some such if the io is blocked too long. generally i: a) use options -g -L 2 and use 'tee' to dump to a file and review that later, or b) i wait till the run is done before messing with the GUI. oh, and of course subscribe to freebsd-cvs list. :) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
