I am defiantly not a locale expert.. I was just trying to get it so it 
can run first. ;-)
yes.. it uses LANG/LC_ stuff like regular BSD box. but from what I 
remember it uses UTF8 by default. you should be able to reproduce my 
issue on a regular FreeBSD box I'm guessing...

Giles mentioned setting SO_NOSIGPIPE via setsockopt which might work 
universally.

for carob that is the only one.
for libmysequoia I see
$ ./runTests

F.F.F.


BTW.. I upgraded to java 1.5.x on my box last night and It seems like 
nothing is working as well anymore (and I am getting that error with the 
read_example program too)
