- OK, this is something I just noticed. I run CPUblit from my WBStartup
- drawer, and I also leave my computer running for weeks at a time without
- turning it off; often I don't reboot for days at a time. I've noticed
- that after a reboot, running Term 2.4 once is fine -- CPUblit does its
- thing. Now, I run Term in a 16 color screen, so without CPUblit, the scrolling
- would be slow, and there'd be rainbow trailers everywhere.
-
- After quitting out of term, and several hours of doing little or nothing with
- my Amiga, I might want to run term again. So I fire it up, everything is OK.
- Scrolling seems a little bit slow, though.
-
- If I run term a third or fourth time, CPUblit seems to not do the right thing.
- According to TaskX, CPUblit is still running; I can kill CPUblit and start it
- up again with no luck. Term's scrolling slows WAY down and that rainbow text
- scrolling is back with a vengeance. Rebooting my machine fixes the problem --
- for a while. Mind you, I don't mind rebooting my machine once in a while to
- insure that it's not having random memory locations getting trashed by some
- ill-behaved apps.
-
- Has anyone else noticed this?
