Yea, it runs fine under 0.5.0.  I created a patch for the Gentoo emerge 
that basically deleted the emacs junk, and filed a bug report on Gentoo 
Bugzilla.

I use the ICD2 under Windows for another project.  I share a directory 
on the Windows box out to the Linux box.  I do all the development under 
Linux, copy the hex file to the mounted Windows directory, spin around 
to the laptop, import the hex file, and program the board.  It's an 
extra step, but last time I checked there was no support for the ICD2 
under Linux.  And it would just be too much trouble to move it between 
the two boxes.

What is your project?  (or did I overlook where you already defined it?)
