Thanks, I'll try that - though I have not much time to do so, since the |
| 20 |
machine starts swapping (though it has 8Gb memory). |

Furtheron I've found out, that sci-mathematics/dataplot |
| 23 |
had BROWSER=xdg-open in it's /etc/env.d/90dataplot file. |
| 24 |
Thus it went into /etc/profile.env. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I think it's very strange that a package may modify |
| 27 |
such a vital environment variable as 'BROWSER'. |

Is this a bug in sci-mathematics/dataplot ? |

Thanks, |
| 32 |
and sorry for getting panic-stricken, |

Helmut. |
