Of course. That's what debugging is all about: you have to find out where to look at. And there's no magic recipe. So I can't say much without doing it myself. > I'm not fluent with the pflocal/libpipe code. I'm not either, and I don't think anybody on the list is really.

Giving you instructions would basically mean doing the whole debugging thing, for which I don't have the time now. Samuel
