Not running under gdb.  Don't know if anyone else on the network is running
Executor (I'm on a dorm network).

This all makes sense.  BTW, does it consider multiple instances of executor
running under one username on one machine to be one license or multiple
licenses?  I'm still getting the error.  Unfortunately, as I know next to
nothing about TCP/IP programming under Linux, I don't know how to check if
my broadcast address is working properly.  If someone could pass along a
quick bit of C to do a test broadcast, I would be grateful.  In case it
makes any difference, I'm running Slackware 2.0 upgraded to kernel 1.1.75
and XF 3.1.1.  Everything else is fairly vanilla.  Do I need to update my
netutils or anything like that?

This solves the problem.  The next question, of course, is what is futzed
with my system that makes the net checks a problem.
