Indeed, this is a known problem. I have recompiled slang1, but the main Debian ftp server is offline due to relocation right now, so I will not be able to upload the packages for a while. > I also have question concerning stability, the system running never > more than one hour... yes I know that Hurd is still in an early stage of > development... but those crashes generally corrupt my fs and all y can > do is reinstalling the system.
