Ack... I didn't realize it was a report... it was honestly more of a
"Anybody help?" email... :-)

But you're welcome.

Ok, good.  I am *SO* glad I'm not just completely inept or insane.  :-)

No.  It's a stock Slackware 9.1 installation on good, normal hardware.

Done.  http://rob.axpr.net/distccd.trace.gz (it was ~625K uncompressed,
74K compressed).  I added a &> distccd.out to the end of that, and put
it in the same folder on my little webserver.

I hope it helps.  If there's *anything* else I can do to help, just let
me know and I'll do what I can.  If you want shell access to the system,
I think I trust you enough to let you in to poke around if it'll help.

Just let me know!
