  10. Functions (in C) that normally block (e.g. read function)
  11. no longer do so when imported to LCL. The hypothesis is
  12. that multitasking within LCL interferes with the OS scheduling.
  13. I tried "with-scheduling-inhibited" without success.

  15. Questions:
  16. 1. Do other LCL users experience the same problem (I'm using
  17.    LCL4.0 under HPUX7.0 on a HP9000/370.
  18. 2. If it is a common problem, is there any fix for it.
