OK, I've got it.  I'm not sure how much data people want, I've never
KTRACEd before.  Nevertheless, I ran it a couple of times, and I keep
hanging on this:

  6114 xemacs-20.3 RET   ioctl 0
  6114 xemacs-20.3 CALL  write(0x7,0xefbf9c6c,0x1f0)
  6114 xemacs-20.3 GIO   fd 7 wrote 496 bytes
       "\M^_....[bunch of lines of line noise here]..."
	[.....]
  6114 xemacs-20.3 RET   write 496/0x1f0
  6114 xemacs-20.3 CALL ioctl(0x7,0x20005001 ,0)


The next time I did it, it looked like this:

  6128 xemacs-20.3 CALL  ioctl(0x7,0xc0044d04 ,0xefbf8a24)
  6128 xemacs-20.3 RET   ioctl 0
  6128 xemacs-20.3 CALL  write(0x7,0xefbf8cf0,0xad4)
  6128 xemacs-20.3 GIO   fd 7 wrote 2772 bytes
       "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww\M^?[...more line noise...]"
  6128 xemacs-20.3 RET   write 2772/0xad4
  6128 xemacs-20.3 CALL  ioctl(0x7,0x20005001 ,0)




So...I'm not sure what this means, or if I've supplied any sort of useful
information.  Or what else I'm missing?  But it's easy enough for me to
reproduce.  Let me know what else might help.


I wonder,

Brian
