I compiled the CVS console-client today and tried it, and it still no
dice. I guess it probably is the console server as well, or maybe some
conglomerate of Hurd servers. Do you know exactly where the problem
lies? because i have a hard time compiling all the Hurd servers from CVS
(i quit after the make error on exec). I'll try again later today
though.
