Hello,

I tried this version, but the console output is not that different when everyting works OK
and when the problem occurs.

I noticed that a message Info) Attempting to get 256MB of CAVE Shared Memory
is printed, but I can't see the corresponding memory area using "ipcs".

I noticed too that you use cave 2.6. Would you be interested in compiling it
against Cave 3.0 ? In this case, I could open you an account on our machine
to give it a try.

I attached the two outputs, when first the colours were B&W, and the second one (really
second try this case, I was lucky) when colours were everywhere.

        Romaric
