Ah, yes, now I remember. Thanks Mike! It is the behavior of the select(2) system call, which behaves not as stated in the man page: "On Linux, select(2) modifies timeout to reflect the amount of time not slept". Pil32+64 relied on that. Pil21 does not use select(2) any longer, but poll(2), which has also some other advantages. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
