Do you happen to know if this is a 64-bit machine? I have some reason
to believe that I might have introduced a bug which would cause
communication to fail between machines using 64-bit and 32-bit longs.
That might explain problems you're having using a client machine other
than the server. I'm not sure, though.

You probably have a blank line in your server.list file. This
shouldn't cause a serious problem.

You probably ran zwgc as root, and it subscribed you as root rather
than as mchang, since you were able to send messages using a class.
If you ever want to see what subscriptions you have, try "zctl ret".

I just tested the server on an Irix 5.2 machine, and it appears to
work fine.
