>Description:
A have a partition with Debian Linux on ext2fs mounted at /mnt/linux, and /emul/linux is a symlink to it.

If I try to run
/emul/linux/usr/bin/orbit-name-server
the CPU load goes up to 100% and nothing happens.

I ran it with ktrace (stopped with CTRL-C) and found this in kdump's output:

   830 orbit-name-serve GIO   fd 4 read 358 bytes
       "# /etc/orbitrc
        #
        # By default, programs using ORBit only use Unix sockets for security \
        reasons.
        # This means that these programs are not reachable from remote hosts v\
        ia CORBA.
        # If you uncomment the following lines, ORBit will also listen on IPv4\
         and/or
        # IPv6 sockets. This enabled CORBA network transparency.
        #
        ORBIIOPUSock=1
        #ORBIIOPIPv4=1
        #ORBIIOPIPv6=1
       "

These messages repeats forever, only the file name is different in each message.

Maybe the problem related to emulated UDP socket handling.

Originally I wanted to run the linux firefox (I need the flash and java plugins, and these doesn't work in native NetBSD firefox). Firefox depends on ORBit library, and seems that it doesn't work ORBit can't start. I also tried to install the firefox-bin package, but that also not works.
