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 but 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?
