No idea, I have other stuff using pthreads and it works....

Disabling pthreads does not seem to help.  Same behaviour.

I also still end up with the mystery zombie process:

gee5:~/silc-client-1.1.2 spork$ ps -auxw|grep silc
spork     3573   0.0  0.2    35524   1940  q0  S     4:35PM   0:00.03 
/usr/local/bin/silc
spork     3574   0.0  0.0        0      0  q0  Z    31Dec69   0:00.00 
(silc)

It's also been doing an odd thing on all builds that run.  It corrupts the 
config file after being run, inserting garbage in the chatnets section:

chatnets = {
   SILCNet = { type = "SILC"; };
   type = "SILCHa~@\001";
    = { type = "SILC"; };
};

It complains about that on startup.  I can then exit, edit out the bizarre 
character and start again.  On exit, it will garble that line again.

I ran a "ktrace -d" on it and have attached the output of "kdump" 
(zipped), perhaps that will give you folks some ideas.

Thanks,

Charles
