I've had the problem on both 3.4-STABLE, and 4.0-CURRENT. I haven't checked before what state anything was in (i will next time it happens). My FreeBSD machine doesn't even have a keyboard/monitor, so i don't know if it happens when i'm not telnetting to it. Basically, the make stops, and the telnet becomes unresponsive. I have to manually disconnect, and then reconnect, only to find a bunch of make's etc sitting in 'ps'. Sometimes they keep going (!?), sometimes they dont. Also, some telnet sessions mysteriously freeze (they like to freeze during cvsup). Wondering what's going on, i press a key, and then everything floods in and i realise that cvsup finished ages ago. I'm telnetting to my FreeBSD machine over my LAN, via 'vr0' @ 100Mbps FD. Cheers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
