Hi

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2 Stable and am wondering
if this is a bug I should report. Perhaps someone
would like to try and duplicate it?

You will need "elm" and the editor "ee" on
your system, as well as a telnet client on a
PC or a Mac.

Telnet to FBSD as an ordinary user.

Set up "ee" as your default editor in .profile

enter elm, and start to edit a new mail message.
Your screen editor should be "ee".

Do not leave the editor in the normal way.
Instead, just rudely quit the telnet session.
(eg: File->Quit).

Go to the console and run "top".

top should show the "ee" process still active,
using up 95% of CPU time. Now go to your
ethernet hub. It should show a whole heap
of activity - much more than normal.

I presume this shouldn't happen on a Unix system -
all processes should be children of the logged in
user, and thus should get KILL'ed when the user
exits, no matter how they exit.


Eddie.
