I know of this behavior, but was unable to fix it, EAGAIN could be the reason,
I'll check this. If you have a joystick, just move it and the messages should
disappear. But as you print "type=0" etc., I guess you have no joystick. I
think I have to add this a 'no joystick present'... thnx :-)

sub-directories and one start position (the Entity "You")

Yes :-) Sorry, it's very unclear, I know. I'll clean the source soon. We got a
little developer meating happening this weekend in Vienna, and after that many
things will change, so you can actually forget the current source.
