Hi!

I have recently installed Z-mail for SCO on my FreeBSD 2.1.0 machine.  I have
had a few adventures to get the thing up and running but have finally managed
that.  My problem now is that if I run Z-mail then my machine spends all
it's time writing error messages to the console.

As an example:-
ss_fop_ioctl: [233] fd=3 FIONREAD SS_IOR('S',8,l=4) 0xf089f080 (0x40045308) <0xefbffe40>
ss_IOCTL: calling ss_convert with 102(f) 127
ss_IOCTL: ss_convert returns indicator 0
ss_IOCTL: [233] error=0
ss_fop_close: [233] fd=3 is a socket

There are hundreds of these messages and they are literally swamping the system,
my /var/log/messages grew by about 2M in the space of 30 minutes.

I guess that these messages are being sent because the iCBS2 emulation is
incomplete?  Are they anything to worry about?  How can I stop them?

Regards,mark
