There are some users here with long user names, which pushes COMMAND column in top's output to the very right -- 'D' is in the 80th position. This works fine in xterm, but on the consoles (cons25, cons30, etc.) the screen gets garbled -- an empty line is inserted between the column titles and the listing of processes. I don't think, the problem is top-specific. Either there is something about the cons* terminal types or the sc-console. Since manuall setting TERM to xterm on a console does not help, it is, probably, sc(4). >How-To-Repeat: Create a user with the longest name possible. Run top on the text console. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
