&gt; 
&gt; Is there any more information on the situation with ColdMUD under Linux (I'm
&gt; finally getting around to setting it up on my linux system, but I don't like
&gt; hangs.  I'm wondering if anybody has any more information before I start going
&gt; after the bug aggressively on my own)?
&gt; 
&gt; BTW, now that I've looked a bit at the code, I'm gonna go ahead and fix the
&gt; fork/suspend(0) problem and release a patch if nobody has any objections..  I
&gt; see a fairly simple way to do it, I think.

What problem? 0.12 has suspend and pause() can be used for long loops. I see
 no use for fork as it appears in MOO. We have the heartbeat for timing and
 much better error control than you'd get with any sort of fork, I think.

So uh.. yeah..I have objections. What problem are you gonna fix?
