[Nicola Mingotti <address@hidden>]

Please don't put much wait on what i wrote,
I may have made a mistake in recompiling the FreeBSD port
which messed all the thing up.

The negative PID is there, but my changes to the code may
have not be taken at all in subsequent tests ... i am checking and
trying to understand.

I will let you know ASAP.

sorry
bye
