I don't think that pointing out a bug that renders one's console unusable is "whining." Of any of the things I've mentioned thus far, I think this is the one most clearly in need of fixing. I'm quite surprised to see that anyone would disagree! The behavior is both damaging to productivity and different from what is expected, and from what other implementations do. I think you're blowing this WAY out of proportion when what it needs is a simple fix. --Brett At 04:51 PM 10/21/98 +0200, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > >I'm sorry, I don't belive you belong in FreeBSD, with your excessive whining, >and complaining.
