// 9vx hangs at the upas/fs invocation in /usr/glenda/lib/profile.

This is a known bug, although last i heard the cause was still a bit
of a mystery. Locally, I run upas/fs -n in my termrc, and then open
mailboxes I want explicitly down the road (since, from my 9vx
terminal, they're all IMAP for me at this point, this isn't a problem
for me; YMMV).

There was some discussion a while ago about using replica with
9vx. I've seen the same stuff you're describing. Russ posted a link to
a Plan 9 distribution tailored to 9vx for use with update; it was
different from both the stock ISO and the file system included with
the 9vx package. I'm using that (and 9vx from the vx32 source).

My OS X and Plan 9 user names match, but I don't think that matters
much. Having extracted a Plan 9 root into /opt/9vx, I run 9vx as
	/Users/a/bin/9vx.OSX -u a -r /opt/9vx
and things work more or less as expected.
