Thank you.  I will try to do that.  I'll have to learn how to strace
first, though.  Sorry, that was the reason why I did not already strace
it (you suggested it already in a previous message, thanks!  Sorry for
not having followed your advice in the first place).

Ok, thanks.  Hopefully, I'll have time to do it tomorrow...
