I'd start with running strace on the app as it loads up.
Or is it truss? I'm confusing my linux and solaris.
Siri Amrit Kaur spoke forth with the blessed manuscript:
> I just got Slackware 10.1 installed yesterday. I installed some games that

> out, but the first instance stays and plays normally. If I open a terminal

> consecutive PID numbers.
