Latest Jensen fixes (update!)

["Champigny, Michael" <Michael Champigny compaq com>]

I've been working on getting the Jensen stable with RH6.x. The clock looks
like it will finally be fixed for RH6.1. I have been corresponding with a
developer and most of my patches made it in. So the clock on RH6.1
should work on the Jensen out of the box (finally!).

The other problem I'm working on is why the Jensen is hanging when starting
up system services. The problem is not with daemon() or killproc() but with
pidofproc(). The pidofproc() function uses awk to search the process table
to check if a system service is already running. awk is hanging! Yes, it
seems
awk is broken on Jensen. :-( 

I will try to fix the problem using cut or some other means and submit the
fix
to RH. I believe they are changing the way this is done in Lorax anyway. For
a workaround, you can safely comment out the awk check done in the
/etc/rc.d/functions file. It is done twice.

The final problem is the stock kernel not working with Jensen. Building your
own
kernel does work. I doubt there will be a fix for this though since RH
doesn't have
a Jensen to test on, and I probably won't have time to do this soon. If
anyone wants
to take a look, please be my guest. :-)

Oh, I'm also getting spurious X crashes. Things seem very shaky. Some
programs
crash X when I launch them. AfterStep is one of them...then again, maybe
AfterStep
is using awk to do something. WindowMaker works. Hmmm.
