I had this same problem, but with vi and the middle mouse key (and sitting at the computer, no ssh required). It wasn't fully deterministic, but it would freeze if I pasted ~30 or more lines. It took awhile for someone to repeat it because they were not pasting enough lines and the window size affected the bug as well. You can set up a duplicate scenario with gvim and see that it does NOT have the same problem. Even kedit works well. I don't know the root cause of the problem, but I now avoid pasting into vi. =========================== Jim Freeze jim@freeze.org ------------------------ Are you a WebHost Provider with FreeBSD services?
