Timers and queries..

["Sean Cody (TDR-X)" <umcodysw cc UManitoba CA>]

I need to execute a call every so often so I though I would add a timeout.  
When I run my program under a solaris box it only executes the timer
function once then just waits.  Though under a win32 box (using gtk+ port)
it calls the timer function repeatadly as it should...  Is there something
I am doing wrong in terms of the solaris usage? (This is using the same
code for both platformss)..


gint tick(gpointer data) {
 printf("Tock\n");
 return;
}

Ticker = gtk_timeout_add(500,tick,NULL);
