There was only one istance of the profile-enable ext2 translator. The
problem is the same using gcc 2.95 and gcc-3.0. I think that probably for
some reason after sending the reply to fsys_goway the task is forced to die.
Normally this is not a problem, because the translator close all activities
before replying, but the _mcleanup() is called only when exit() is invoked,
after the reply. For this reason I call _mcleanup() before reply, and rename
the file to avoid that a gmon.out to be overwritten when _mcleanup() is
called a second time from inside exit(). For some misterius reason sleep
helps also...

Thank you.
