Thanks, I have now killed that process and rebooted, and only the one at /hurd/pflocal remains, so it seemed to be an active one. Now the problem is that even if using the printf-modified pflocal (stdout), nothing is printed. Maybe I have to do as Richard proposed, write the output to a file instead. A question regarding the server-client code of the translators: Is there an easy way to find out what is server code and what is client code?
