I originally posted this to -questions but got no response, except for
a suggestion to try -ports, so here goes.
After u/g 2.2.8 -> 3.1 (from the CD) I had a problem with shelltool(1)
in olvwm. After starting shelltool I could run a few commands OK
(sometimes just a single ``ls'') and then it would hang at the prompt
with the cursor flickering and not responding to the kbd although I
could
quit from the frame menu.
On the console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) there is an endless stream of:
TTYSW: pty write failure: bad file descriptor
I put this down to a hybrid aout/ELF system (olvwm and shelltool were
the old binaries), but I have now added another HD and done a complete
clean install so the system is all ELF (and olvwm is now v4.2 instead
of 4.1) but the problem persists. Xterm works OK.
Anyone have any ideas as to the cause? If not an exact cause, then do
you know where the message is coming from, shelltool, X, or the
kernel, so I can try and debug it myself.
I'd appreciate it if any replies are CC:'d to me as I'm not subscribed
to -ports.
Thanks.
