Subject: Shell Quirk Getting Garbage Displayed Before Attaching
Date: March 10, 1988

PROBLEM: There is a little problem that some users have reported and
that we have seen here in the lab. Sometimes, when loading
the shell, you will get garbage displayed on the screen. It
will finish executing and print out on the last line that you
are attached to server <name>. You can login and everything
else works fine.
We have seen this in the lab using many different network
configurations and different O.S. versions. It does make
users nervous, but so far we haven't seen it cause any other
problems.
The only possible explanation we have is that some kind of
interference gets through the network and gets displayed on
the screen. Replacing the cable doesn't appear to solve the
problem, it merely goes away with time.
We would like to report a conclusive answer but we haven't
found one yet. If anyone else has seen this and knows of a
possible solution, let us know.
