I tried xess, tecplot, and applix on snorklewacker, running
8.2.2. xess and tecplot worked. Applix hung as you reported; I did
some poking around and found that it was stuck in a loop trying to
open /tmp through /emul/linux*. If I removed the tmp -> /tmp symlink
from /emul/linux, it worked. Since I don't know of any reason for that
link to be there, I removed it.
