SCO->linux port fail

[Jay Ashworth]

I'm working on moving a running GMM 2.15/FP 5.0.14 install from SCO 5.0.5 to SuSE 9.0 
(don't laugh; that's the newest version that will run ABI).

Nearly everything is working, but we seem to be having trouble with GMM: it creates
the phantom processing tables we request (which are -v tables), but then appears to 
actually *run* with the original tables instead.  The processes run so fast, it's 
hard to be sure with ps, and I can't figure out how one tells GMM to do the menu-
single-step which used to be done on menumaster with just a "-" command.

Anyone remember?

I've upgraded the GMM to 2.20, the last version we have laying around, and no help.

We did have to do one hack, invented for our older GMM customer, because Genix used
SYSTEM() to call /bin/chown, and the semantics of ABI won't permit it to run; we
had to put a SUID chown in a private directory, and put it at the top of GMM's path;
that took a week to work out the first time, but only 5 minutes to duplicate -- the
symptom is that GMM complains it has no permission to write the phantoms (cause it
apparently reuses the names)...

This is a moonlight job for me these days, and so I don't have the continuous attention
to pay to it I used to; anyone got any suggestions?
