PmWiki uses the "diff3" program under Unix/Linux in order to handle
Simultaneous Edits. If the server doesn't allow calling external
programs, or if the diff3 program is unavailable, then
simultaneous edits doesn't work.
Yes, this is a known bug -- I just haven't had a good opportunity
to fix it yet. Send my sincere apologies to your editor for this one.
In the meantime, you might look at installing the
Cookbook.SimuleditWithoutPopen recipe -- I hope to
incorporate it (or something like it) into the core someday.
