Hi!
---

I'm noticing a strange behaviour of my x(c)terms nearly since I use
FreeBSD in the 2.0 and above versions. Although I would suggest it's
merely the tcsh shell which causes this behaviour.
Well, what happens exactly is:
You open an xterm or xcterm, position the window, and all you get
is an empty window with the cursor being in the upper left corner of the
window, but the shell doesn't come up with a shell prompt or anything.
As I can say this doesn't happen on a freshly rebooted machine, but more
often when the the machine has already been running for a while.
Also it seems that this problem does not occur, when using a shell other
than the tcsh shell (I just tried it out with an sh shell, and the window
just popped up and was there). Again... this is no problem I'm having
sinc yesterday, but it is a problem I'm having since nearly 2.0R.

I'm using the tcsh-6.0.5 shell, which says about itself:
(tcsh 6.05.00 (Cornell) 94/19/06 (i386-intel-bsd44) options 8b,nls,dl,rh)

Apart from that I'm using FreeBSD 2.0.5 current (I think about Jun 21) on
an i486DX system with Buslogic Bt747S controller.

I would be _very_ thankful for any advice or help on getting rid of this
problem, since it really sucks after a certain amount of time, when you
have to wait for about 2 minutes for every xterm you open.

Thanks in advance.... Mickey
