Yes, multi-session support is working (but undocumented).
To test it, do the following:
- Create one molrc file for each session (named
/etc/molrc-N)
- Make sure AltiVec is disabled on G4 machines (there appears
to be a bug in the AltiVec register saving code).
- Start each instance of MOL using the --session switch
(e.g 'startmol --session=3').
Note: the sheep_net networking will currently not work properly
if more than one session is run simultaneously (but a tan/tup
solution ought to be possible).
