[Discuss-gnustep] NXConstantString problems and gdomap on FreeBSD

[Igor Roboul]

Hello, 
now I'll send a little bigger mail. This mail also shows problems
of "gdomap" on FreeBSD 4.1-S. I'm sorry for long mail. Bellow 
are issued commands and output.

I can't find the loopback interface on this machine.
Perhaps you should correct your machine configuration or use the -a flag.
I am assuming loopback interface on 127.0.0.1
gdomap - entering main loop.

I have same problem with FreeBSD workstation at home. :-( 
Wow, now I that if I start gdomap in foreground with debugging and then send it
