Thanks a lot; as I stated in another message in this thread, it was my corrupted *ext3* /var partition that caused the problem (due to power outage). File sizes got very funny... Yeah, I messed up glibc on a Mandrake system, now its days are counted before reinstalling (messing with rpm at the same time doesn't help either... only accelerates putrefaction!) :o) Cheers, -- Cristian Gutierrez http://www.dcc.uchile.cl/~crgutier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The good news: Computers allow us to work 100% faster.
