Hi list,

I'm working on an update to the djvu port in hopes of getting the
firefox/netscape plugin working but I've come across something very
strange; a bug that disappears when run under a debugger. I've read
about this class of bugs in the book "How Debuggers Work" (by J.B.
Rosenberg), but this is the first time I've actually seen one and I'm
at a loss as to how to resolve the issue.

If you have any suggestions or pointers to further reading on this class
of bug, it would be much appreciated.

As for why djvu plugin support will be nice of OpenBSD, it's mainly due
to the use of this format by the OpenLibrary.org project. I currently
have the plugin working perfectly but it only works under gdb. Without
gdb, the plugin quietly fails to run for no apparent reason even though
firefox can load it without problems.

thanks,
jcr
