Terry, Nelson,
Thanks so much for the suggestions! That's what I was hoping for, some
more ideas and a little narrowing down of what's wrong.
Terry, that 32-char suggestion really deserves to work. I suspect it
won't (the tcl I've seen has short stuff), but it deserves to. :) Will sift
carefully anon.

Fwiw, all other BLT tests appear to work. Also fwiw, I didn't mean to
suggest the situation was dire, just that "I'd gotten nowhere" since last
time I yelped, on the problems I'd had last time I yelped.

I decided "gdb" wasn't even worth building, because, unfortunately, gcc
refuses to do the "-g" thing under HPUX. I vaguely recall some technical
reason why in the documentation. I let it crash under xdb, the HP debugger.
The assembly code meant nothing to me. You grok that junk? At the time,
I decided the blt demos/graph and heatbugs test were closer to mostly-working,
thus easier to debug than going into testGraph and doing print-trace.
The "it isn't -that-" suggestions are the most helpful of all--thanks!
Especially readline, since there didn't seem anything I could do about it.
I was expecting heatbugs to eventually look like the screen shot in the
Swarm pages, and it doesn't look that way as long as I've run it. (2e+29
generations ought to be long enough :). (And five minutes. Actually, the
green dots appear to be running away from the red dots, which chase after.)
Well, off to play.
Thanks again,
Ginger
