[PLUG] Need help interpreting strace output

  I've looked through the strace output trying to start WordPerfect and I
don't see the problem.

  There are some files that are not found, but the processing goes past them
with no apparent ill effect. The last 10 lines of the logfile are:

getpid()                                = 18722
access("/tmp/wpc-salmo.appl-ecosys.com/excmsg8", W_OK) = 0
open("/tmp/wpc-salmo.appl-ecosys.com/_WP__0000018722a_", O_RDWR) = 6
write(5, "\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\"I\0\0\364\1\0\0a\364\1\0\0\0\0\32\0\0"..., 516)
= 516
getpid()                                = 18722
alarm(0)                                = 0
times({tms_utime=7, tms_stime=6, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = -2135429356
times({tms_utime=7, tms_stime=6, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = -2135429356
times({tms_utime=7, tms_stime=6, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = -2135429356
times({tms_utime=7, tms_stime=6, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = -2135429356

  I'd greatly appreciate help interpreting the output. I feel that it must
have something to do with the hostname change, but I cannot see why. And, of
course, I don't know what to do to fix the problem.

Many thanks,

Rich
