 Interesting. Looks like MIT-shared-memory is broken in Xamiga24, must try
it on Xcl yet. Hve you checked out other shm-programs, ie. mpeg_play ?

 Looks like a side efect to the before mentioned memory-problem of Xamiga24

 Hnjah. Get Chimera or araena instead. Mosaic is way too expensive regarding
resources and is, as you report, unstable.

 Is not broken - is not supported at all. You can only use AmigaDOS floppies
yet, but noone hinders you from formatting these disks with msdosfs, they
just wont be unusuable on MS-Dog systems.

 Probably the SUN-CD-ROM has 512KB blocks rather the usual 2048KB - impossible
to mount.

 Nope. Its the block-size. That's the fault of SUN.
