- I think I may have found a bug.
-
- Here is the setup:
-
- 386 running linux 99 PL 1. Unknow version of telnet deamon, but it is not
- 0.2. The machine is about 150km away, so I can not be much more specific.
-
- I am loged from a DECstation. I have 2 telnet sessions to the linux machine,
- and I have 1 Xterm running on the linux machine and displayed on the DECstation.
-
- Here is the problem:
-
- I will be typing along in any of the 3 linux windows on the DECstation end and
- periodically the shell seems to lock up. By this I mean that you can hit return
- multiple times and nothing happens (No scrolling, no prompt, nothing). You can
- wait for several (30?) seconds and nothing happens. If you move to the other 2
- windows and press return in each of these windows, then the locked up window
- comes back to life. When it comes back, it remembers everything that you typed
- into it while it was locked up. Then you can type for a few minutes and the
- window locks up again. Any of the 3 windows will lock up, not just the telnet
- windows. If I logout of the telnet windows and leave the Xterm running, things
- seem to work fine.
-
- Thought someone might want to know
