[tkined] Tools only run once

Hello!

I'm having a strange problem. I've tried a number of compilations and
some RPMS of the Scotty/Tkined 2.1.8 package and am having the same
problem over and over.

Most all of the tools will run once and then the entire selection of
items on any given menu of tools will not run again until the menu is
deleted and restarted. For instance, I can ping something once and then
the option will stop working until I restart the IP Trouble menu again. In
the background I can see that ntping -b is running even after the results
of the ping window has been closed. Sending a kill to ntping turns it into
a zombie that vanished when the IP Trouble menu is deleted.

The problem is not limited to ping - most every tool is affected.

I'm running on a RedHat 5.0 box with the latest versions of most
components in place (I try to keep current on the upgrade RPMS for major
elements of the system). The odd thing is that I'm having the same problem
on another RH 5.0 box that was just built, so I can't imagine that any of
my upgraded components might be at fault. It seems like it might be simple
enough, but so far the solution has been elusive. :(

Thanks for any assistance!
