Recently (sometime between 1.4 and 1.4K with ELF ;), I've been having some
trouble with the linux emulation.  To wit:  some stuff that used to work,
doesn't, but some still does.  Some only works partially.

Specifically:  Netscape Navigator 4.5 still works, Wordperfect 8 does not.
(it dumps core).  Oddly, Acrobat reader 3.0 works *ONLY* when lauched from
netscape.  (i.e., if I click on a pdf file, it works OK.  If I run it from
the command line, it seg faults)

I've been noticing these for a few weeks, but have not yet expended the
effort to track it down.  Incidentally (or not), at the same time I made
the switch to ELF, I went to the suse_linux-6.1 package from the older SuSE
package.

Anyone else see this?  Any specific debugging info that anyone needs?
