Yes, thanks, total verification and the exact same bad behavior. But
if you do as I first suggested and run it from Wine you will see that
it works just fine and brings up a list of servers. In the end I find
this sadly funny. Linux programmers are programming circles around
what Adobe can do. We make their software run with Wine on Linux when
they can't even do it right with the source. They are rather pathetic.
