Re: octal 0.92 developer's beta online

[David O'Toole]

Could you do something for me? (I assume you were using a debugger.) Can
you check out what is happening in the function engine_model_responder
(under the heading ec_reset_viewer.) This is where the wake-up call is
happening, but apparently on your system it isn't happening. See if you
can get any information about the inputs to this call... perhaps the pipe
failed to open?

Also, if the other pipes fail in being set to nonblocking reads, the
program will probably hang (the current system needs nonblocking pipes.)

Right after "GNU OCTAL pre-beta release -------" you should see a line or
two about some pipes being set for nonblocking reads... if these lines are
missing that could be a problem.
