Re: exu not working

Hmm ... interesting.

I assume your C counter program is a dynamicly linked ELF binary.

Do you have any other staticly linked binaries to test out? If not
perhaps you could recompile your counter program as a static binary,
and see what happens. (I'm guessing this might be an error that only applies
to staticly linked programs.)
