Thank you for the quick response!

Wow.  That comes as rather a surprise.  (And since the "work" hierarchy
is transient, it would be a bit hard to find unless one knew to look
for it.)  Might an UPDATING entry be appropriate for this?

Unfortunately (for me, anyway), after looking at the file in question,
I remain clueless as to what I can do about ports that attempt to link
to libpthread-stubs.so.0 (such as xdm).

I suppose I could try rebuilding xdm; if that works, the circumvention
is sufficiently straightforward....

Peace,
david

Who would have thought that a "hotelier" would be so ... unwelcoming?  Sad.
