I can no long use ^Z to suspend pine, and no other keyboard keys work. I can use kill procno -STOP to suspend it, but no other signals seem to free it. The state ps sees is "S+", the man page on ps says thats "process sleeping for less than 20 seconds". Believe me, I've waited far longer than that. Oh, my environment is -current, on an SMP box. I'd like to fix this myself; does anyone have any tips I could use for doing this, next time it hangs? I'm going to replace my pine binary with one compiled with debug symbols ... but maybe something else could tell me what pine could be hung with? I don't have any indication yet what's really causing it, so I can't make it reoccur with any regularity. It's happened 3 times in the last week. As anyone reading this list knows, there's a lot of mail going thru it. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
