Which libc are you using?

I'm using libc-2.1.1...
I tried libc-2.1.2 with the same results...

Did you bug "\pipe\lanman response?"

I guess I'm going to have to look into it more...

If you're making a trace file,  would it be a reasonable idea to decouple
the tracing from the GUI -- I hate running GUI applications setuid root.
Also, it sometimes isn't very responsive...two programs might be very
useful (I like architectures which have a GUI part and a "work"
part).
