Erik: The patch looks reasonable to me and, at the very least, Does No Harm on Linux. A couple of points/questions: 1. After you run 'perl Configure.pl' with this patch on your box, what do you get for this: grep -ni AIO lib/Parrot/Config/Generated.pm 2. Your patch inspired me to check for other instances of 'sleep' in the Parrot configuration system. I couldn't find any, which is a Good Thing, IMHO. 3. For future reference, submit bug reports to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I recommend beginning Subject line with: [BUG]. And I recommend submitting patches as email attachment ending in : .txt (because that seems to render best in browsers, mail, news interfaces). All: Can we get this patch tried out on a few more OSes? Thank you very much. kid51
