I had a strange thing happen to me a little while ago on my P6 webserver. I use the new BASH2 shell from the 2.2.2 CD, and the EMACS (19.34?) that comes on the same CD, and something strange happened to me. I do have the X libraries installed, and I've been running fine (console mode, no X), but I got trapped in a wierd command history buffer mode and couldn't get out except with the ALT-F-key terminals. I could scroll back in a sort of 'history buffer' that included several EMACS sessions (as though screen captures) and a number of commands at the shell level, but I couldn't for the life of me get out. Can't reproduce it, don't want to, just want to know what NOT to do, as I almost lost mucho work... Thank you, #*#!!! Anybody seen this?
