My suggestion was just because I've very recently discover this pb. But BTW
I had also another possible explication (yes, one more) and in fact i'm
really wondering if this could cause pbs in the future: The Stack! Yes, it
is now well known that all the Warp-os (and some Power-up) software seems
to need a really huge stack (500000 on most case). So what happen if you
launch 2 or more of those "stack-hungry" apps? Do you have to define a
500000 stack for each PPC apps running on your system, or do they share a
unique stack, and so have we to increase that stack a bit more?
I think this question not only concern ROJ's problem.
