Clone 486DX2-66
Windows 3.1
PC Tools for Windows shell
my login script reads
set port 2
echo set port 2
set port 2
echo set port 2
set port 2
echo set port 2
Occasionally the first one generates the error, one in thirty
uses. The second one never generates the error. The third one
is there in case it does.
Sessions with and without the error message are indistinguishable.
