Ever since we upgraded from SunOS 3.4 a while ago, we've had a few minor
irritations that we haven't tracked down yet:

1) When you exit from suntools the shell prompt (i.e. on the bare console)
gets a line or two of z's.

2) Sometimes when logged in over a pseudo terminal input will hang, e.g.
in response to a cp -i. Remaking /dev/tty usually seems to fix this.

3) I want to alter the at, batch, and crontab queues to run at different
nicenesses, but my /var/spool/cron/queuedefs is ignored, it consists
exactly of: 

# 
# 
@(#)queuedefs 1.2 88/02/08 SMI; from S5R3 # a.2j5n
b.2j10n90w c.2j5n

The hardware is a Sun 3/180 with a fair number of peripherals.  I would be
grateful if you could supply the reasons/fixes for these.  Please respond
via email and I will provide a summary to the list.  Thanks.
