Can't help you much here because I can't reproduce the problem. I compiled your program and ran it and I was still able to use the system just fine as it was scrolling numbers past. I was also able to CTRL-C the program from the terminal and it stopped without any problems. Nor did I see any unusual memory usage. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
