* There is patch floating around for some problem in process.c which hang
* indefinitely if the target is a directory. You way want to try it. Sorry
* it seems that I don't have anymore...
If you are talking about this one, it's already in patches/patch-a.
It doesn't seem to help, as it still hangs on thud.
Do other people see the problem? Right now I have one -current system
(mine) on which it works, one (approx.) 2.0.5R system (thud) on which
it hangs, and Josh's machine where it started working after
recompilation (how new is your OS, Josh?).
If nobody else reports problems, I'll just upgrade thud and be done
with it. :>
