That'd be my guess.

And venturing OT...

Speaking of hacking, someone kick this thing for me.  There's a great
multi-protocol chat client (AIM, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu)
for terminals (it uses curses or ncurses).  I have every protocol working
-except- Yahoo--the one my brother, best friend, and a few other people I
want to talk to are using, and the one I most wanted to get working of the
two that were previously broken for me (MSN being the other).

And the real kicker is, it works fine when compiled identically on Linux.
I've gone through ldd. I'm not missing anything, unless there's some
difference in the internal network libraries.

At least I fixed MSN.  But it's driving me nuts.  It's doing every
protocol, all but two of which I actually use--EXCEPT the one that I went
on a long crusade to get working since Friday night.  *sigh*

Entirely OT for this list, but since we're talking about hacking...
Sometimes hacking is overrated.  :-/

Hmm.  "Sometimes, dead is better." -- _Pet Sematary_

I don't suppose threatening to decompile something has much leverage as a
form of coercion against the software if the source is already lying there,
does it?  I could do a Tron play...deres...  :)

Back to the code...  *wields editor and debugging fprintf() statements*
