Has anyone used the jove 4.16 editor available in the ports collection?  
I use it but I think there is a problem in the FreeBSD port.

When running an interactive shell in a buffer (ESC-x, shell), pressing 
the return key repeats the command on the prompt line anywhere from 50 to 
500 times. This is a sample of an i-shell session with one command entered:

shell session:
-----------------------------------
edna$ echo one line
one line
edna$ one line
edna$ one line
edna$ one line
.
.
/* 60 +/- lines deleted */
.
.
edna$ one line
edna$ one line
edna$ one line
edna$ exit
exit
[Process i-shell: Done]
-----------------------------------

I tried recompiling from the sources but there was no improvement, so I 
have been working with a fellow from the jove development group 
(jovehacks@cs.toronto.edu).

ktrace shows jove write the command, but it returns to jove that 0 bytes 
were written, so jove tries to write it again and again.  I can send a 
kdump to anyone who would like to look at it.  Below is info about 
version/machine/compile options.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Chuck


------------------------------------------------------------------

OS:		FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE

Computer:	Intel pentium

jove version:	4.16

Compiler:	GNU gcc v2.6.3

Options:	OPTFLAGS = -O
		DEPENDFLAG = -M
		LIBS = -ltermcap
		LDFLAGS =
		SYSDEFS=-DBSDPOSIX
		CFLAGS = $(OPTFLAGS) $(SYSDEFS)
		LDCC = $(CC)
		LOCALCC = $(CC)
		LOCALCFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)
		LOCALLDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS)

related jove vars:
		set shell	/bin/bash
		set shell-flags	-c

Compilation:	make
		test jjove (didn't notice problem at that point), 
		make install

I've tried setting `shell' to /bin/csh and /bin/sh also, but had the same 
problem.
