Welllll your problem may have been fixed but the linux emulation does
seem to be a little bit broken.  I have just upgraded from 1.1 to
1.2-current (a fairly recent version...) and now xquake just dies with
a SIGBUS.  Not right away, mind you, after a few seconds of quaking
the thing just folds up.  I am using _exactly_ the same libraries and
stuff that I was under 1.1 where xquake was rock solid.

Here is the last bit from a ktrace:


   175 xquake   CALL  read(0x5,0xf7bfd684,0x20)
   175 xquake   GIO   fd 5 read 32 bytes
       "\^A\^A\M-o\^D\0\0\0\0\^A\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0@u:\0\^R\0\0\0\M-`\^R:\0"
   175 xquake   RET   read 32/0x20
   175 xquake   CALL  write(0x5,0x88d8800,0x4)
   175 xquake   GIO   fd 5 wrote 4 bytes
       "+\^C\^A\0"
   175 xquake   RET   write 4
   175 xquake   CALL  read(0x5,0xf7bfd6dc,0x20)
   175 xquake   GIO   fd 5 read 32 bytes
       "\^A\^A\M-p\^D\0\0\0\0\^A\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\^A\0\0\0@u:\0\^R\0\0\0\M-`\^R:\
        \0"
   175 xquake   RET   read 32/0x20
   175 xquake   CALL  gettimeofday(0xf7bfd760,0xf7bfd758)
   175 xquake   RET   gettimeofday 0
   175 xquake   CALL  ioctl(0x5,_IO('T',0x1b,0),0xf7bfcf04)
   175 xquake   RET   ioctl 0
   175 xquake   CALL  gettimeofday(0xf7bfd710,0xf7bfd708)
   175 xquake   RET   gettimeofday 0
   175 xquake   CALL  oldselect(0xf7bfd684)
   175 xquake   RET   oldselect 0
   175 xquake   PSIG  SIGBUS SIG_DFL
