Hi folks,

Could someone (Garry?) please take a look at this? The wrapped Linux main
Star Office binary doesn't launch properly on our Linux-Athena 9.2 test
machine-  the symptom is that nothing happens when you try to launch
Star Office (add soffice_v6.0; soffice). There's no error message, it
just doesn't launch.

1. Same setup works fine on 9.1 machines.

2. I only see problems with Star Office so far, not other wrapped apps.

3. Star Office launches normally if I replace the wrapped binary by the
unwrapped original.

4. I tried installing Star Office 6.1 beta 1 and rewrapping on our
Linux-Athena 9.2 machine- same problem.

I was going to see if a launch attempt causes a log entry to be created but
our only test machine is temporarily down today.

The binary in question is:

/mit/soffice_v6.0/distrib/i386_linux24/program/soffice.bin
                                               soffice.bin.des

The unwrapped original binary is
/mit/soffice_v6.0/Athena/private/i386_linux24/soffice.bin.hide.

This is a high-priority issue with us- Jean and Phil really need the usage
statistics provided by the wrapper logs.

                                            Thanks,

                                                     Alex
