(2.0.5-R) (screen problem) Newsgroups: cview.freebsd.hackers In-Reply-To: Organization: CView Inc. Cc: dk@dog.farm.org Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk In article you write: >I am gotting that same bug which bites me: >under screen, create virtual console (using PTY), run telnet/rlogin under it, >kill the shell process (telnet not killed), re-create virtual console >(same PTY used), alas, I got input from shell/old telnet process intermixed. blah. you are lucky - I can't even get screen to work on ANY of my boxes. all the way since 1.5.1 - I am having this darn problem - screen hangs. I know people had complained about it - but no one ever offered a fix. I tried to debug it - and the problem was that the master process was dying and spawned processes would just bomb out. WHY the master process was dying? no clue. anyway - if anyone has any clues... please let me know! :) Nik
