Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, while this works for me on Debian
GNU/Linux sarge x86, it doesn't on NetBSD 2.0 x86. A child ecl is
forked, but it doesn't seem to get as far as exec'ing anything. If I
can find the time (maybe this weekend), I'll see if I can figure out
why not.

How gdb friendly is ecl?
