well I don't think so, I mean I have had it working for a month or so
but then I started dealing with the ACE library, which is pretty neat
and a X-C++-library JX, it's been a struggle, and this is probably the
reason why it doesn't work, but what it is, well I don't know.
If ya got any ideas, any at all please get back to me
The function it can't execute is shmget (something like that) and
some other shmxxx methods.

 Tobias
