Why null Translator should die??

[ramesh h e]

Hi,

I am running "GNU-Hurd" OS in my system, but i am
facing some problem in setting the translator.

I have downloaded the translator source form the CVS
mirror site ":pserver:anoncvs@duff.kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp
:/usr/local/cvsroot".

I also complied and have set the null.c translator
with the option:

# gcc -g -o null -ltrivfs -lfshelp -lports null.c
# settrans -ac /tmp/null ./null
# echo "MESSAGE" > /tmp/null

If I dump some message to the running translator (i.e.
/tmp/null), the translator is getting died and a new
file(/tmp/null) is being created.

After that if I do "cat /tmp/null", the dumped message
is displayed on the screen.

Please anybody help me in this concern.

Thanks
Ramesh
