OK - my simple test case is working now - thanks!

The real program (gnome-inform7) now gets further, but I get:

...
#1: [r.] log: getuid: ?
#1: [r.] log: connect AF_?: ?
#5: [r.] log: getuid: ?
#1: [r.] log: getuid: ?
#1: [r.] log: connect AF_?: ?
#5: [r.] log: getuid: ?
#1: [r.] log: getuid: ?
#1: [r.] log: connect AF_?: ?
#5: [r.] log: getuid: ?
(repeats forever)

Any hints on debugging this?

[
If you want to reproduce it:

$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/zeroinstall.git
$ cd zeroinstall
$ git checkout plash-overlay
$ sudo python setup.py install --force
$ 0launch http://0install.net/2008/3rd-party/gnome-inform7.xml

Create a new project and click on the Run button on the toolbar if it
starts (sometimes it fails before that).
