exmh not starting



Hi!

I installed exmh and nmh, but when starting exmh, it´s doing nothing.

ii  exmh           2.1.1-1.1      An X user interface for MH mail.
ii  nmh            1.0.2-9        A set of electronic mail handling programs.

When I do an strace, the last output is:
<...>
read(4, "# main.tcl\n#\n# Main body of the "..., 4096) = 4096
read(4, "tup\n}\n\nproc ExmhArgv {} {\n    gl"..., 4096) = 4096
read(4, "pens when we quit.\n\t    Backgrou"..., 4096) = 3843
read(4, "", 4096)                       = 0

close(5)                                = 0
read(4, "You already have the standard nm"..., 4096) = 97
read(4, 

It seems the last read takes forever.

Any hints?

(Please cc replies to me, I´m between jobs and cowardly refuse to
