>Description:
I've recently upgraded my FBSD to FreeBSD 7BETA2 and also recompiled my working packages and upgraded from linux_base-fc4 to linux_base-f7. 
I have also reinstalled the HeroesOfMightAndMagic's port. The main binary which starts the game is 
# file /usr/local/games/Heroes3/heroes3 
/usr/local/games/Heroes3/heroes3: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, statically linked, stripped.
I thought maybe there is some linux library missing so I tried to ldd it
%/usr/compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/games/Heroes3/heroes3
%
When starting the /usr/local/games/Heroes3/heroes3. heroes3 process forks one more process which stays in a defunct stage. Maybe the maintainer of the port has to upgrade his port if thee is a newer version to the game? Or it is a bug in the linux emulation layer. If nobody is going to fix this it's a good idea to be marked in the (pkg-descr) that it doesn't work correctly on FreeBSD 7 with linux_base-f7.
