Hi there !
First of all, sorry for my english, it is improving slowly.
After having applied the 0.16-5 patch I observed that in some circumstances
dctrl was unable to monitor diald process, the script was suspended in I/O
with the FIFO. After, I was able to reproduce the problem by selecting
the 'Restart monitoring' option of dctrl menubar.
I did some hacking with shell scripts and I found the problem was in diald's
FIFO blocking mode. I wrote a minor fix which is OK on my Linux box. The
Linux kernel I am running is 2.0.27.
