Ok Tom,
We've done the easy things. Let's tackle this another way:
reboot, start ax25d as normal.
Login as root and do 'ps -aux | grep ax25d'
Note the PID (process id) that the ax25d daemon has.
Run the following command:
# cd/tmp
# strace -f -p <pid> 2>ax25d.strace
leave that running and attempt to recreate the problem you are
having.
When you ahve done that, kill the 'strace' with ^C and send
me a copy of the /tmp/ax25d.strace file.
Strace shows some of the internal workings of the program it is
monitoring. With luck we'll be able to see what is happening
there.
regards
Terry
