Does anyone else have the problem of the Daemon not reponding for MDG????

I orignally thought that this was due to the absence of the default player
file but thats not the case. I now have a default now as well as a 
created player file and I still get no daemon response.

things to note: 1) I have not set any UID's yet, I own everything
		2) I had to use the termcap library instead of the tinfo
		   library for the compile, we only have the former
		3) GAME_HOME is the same as /usr/games as referred in the
		   README file
		4) the mdg_daemon is a CPU hog and the mdg_stop program 
		   does not work, I must do a manual kill to stop the clock
		   and the daemon.
		5) I've looked through the code and found nothing obvious.
	
Any Help or Suggestions?? (I really don't want to do a major hack)
