The symptoms are that when you type a command and hit return it starts up the program but immediately blurbs out some message about "Reset pgrp from # to #" and sends a Hangup to the process. Once this occurs you are hosed although you can sometimes get a few things to run (ie, you can type ls and 1 out of 5 times it runs without the Reset message). As near as I can tell, this behaviour occurs just around either having just typed ^Z or my interrupt character which leads me to believe it may be a signal related problem. Two questions, why does this only happen to me (nobody else here has seen it) and what is it? I have observed this under 4.1 csh also. The following erroneous input, combined with hitting "break" while it is printing error messages seems to cause the same effect. repeat 10 (fortune; sleep 10) Interesting, eh? Patrick Powell
