- I compiled this a while ago, and it goes pretty easily once you supply
- a scandir() function, which you can snarf from the BSD sources.
-
- The problem is that it coredumps in a rather unfortunate location
- (when trying to shutdown all the buffers), so unless you like
- sprinkling core files around your filesystem, it's a pain to use
- (although it does still work - it saves the file then coredumps :).
-
- I tracked the problem to a point (with the help of Jim Wight, the
- author), but we weren't able to come up with anything, and suspect it
- might be a problem with the X libraries for Linux. I've been waiting
- for the next release of the X stuff before trying again.
