--------------------------+------------------------------
From my BeOS-Machine i grabbed the app "BeConverter" (BeConverter is a
BeOS native, multi-threaded unit of measure conversion tool.)
When I attempt to start this app on Haiku, the icon of the app will just
appear in the Deskbar and from ProcessController I can see that this app
will peg one core of my cpu, nothing else will happen: no errors and no
alert; I also tried to start the app from the Terminal, but no output is
displayed.
However I tried with the following command to see if something is
displayed in the syslog when I launch the app.
Output of
{{{
tail -f /var/log/syslog
KERN: Last message repeated 10 times.
KERN: libnetwork.so running in R5 compatibility mode.
KERN: bfs: bfs_access:1520: Permission denied
KERN: Last message repeated 19 times.

}}}
All that I can do for now is to provide a zip archive which contains this
application:
