The main issue I had was in the (probably unusual) case where I was booting off a Plan 9 partition on my local machine and running fossil/venti. I would sometimes get hangs that seemed to be stuck in infinite loops. I don't recall running into any real issues when using it as a terminal taking its root from a file server. But even running fossil/venti on a local partition, I haven't had any issues in FreeBSD, so whatever the issue is/was, it's probably somewhere in the way they do threading/locking differently. Just by way of context, when I'm at home and my file server is reachable, I run it as a terminal. When I'm not at home (work, Starbucks, Lower Sloblovia, etc) I boot it up using a local Plan 9 partition. Either way, I'm pretty much running it all the time from my .xinitrc script. For that matter, it's been a while since I last used the p9p acme. I've been doing more and more from 9vx. BLS
