- This sounds exactly like the behavior I was getting on my 350 before I
- installed the 8.0 patch for amd. You'd better double-check that you
- installed the patch properly.

- Check your .cshrc or ksh ENV file for weird things, especially anything that
- expects to talk to a tty. Some of our Sun users have put things like:
-
- if (`tty` != "console")...
-
- in their .cshrc, and caused themselves all kinds of trouble. Hmmm. Come
- to think of it, That could be a potential cause for Problem #1 as well.
