I get what seems to be an endless stream of "select failed" messages. These messages are coming from the heart of the X11 event dispatch loop. What it probably means is that one of the various file descriptors registered with the server for asynchronous notification (for Prospero or FTP) is no longer valid but hasn't been cleared from X's select mask. Unfortunately, the X code simply prints a message and loops, which means that select() will fail again, etc., ad nauseam. Please do not report this problem without the following information! You should add a line `#define DEBUG' before the `#include "debug.h"' in files ftp.c and ftp-actions.c, then rebuild xarchie. Include the resulting trace (from stderr) with your bug report.
