It affects sh, csh and tcsh shells. When reading the manpage, if you hit Ctrl-Z to suspend back to the prompt, you will get a "Suspended" message, but you won't see a shell prompt. You will have to hit Enter once in order for it to show up. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Start a shell (sh, csh or tcsh) on FreeBSD 8.1 2. Write the command "man ifconfig" 3. Hit Ctrl+Z 3. Observe "Suspended" on the shell 4. Observe no shell prompt shows up 5. Hit Enter 6. Finally the shell prompt shows up >Fix: I have no fix or workaround at this time. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
