I just had the "old" vs. "new" (SIGHUP?) pty problem again. Just to refresh everone's memory, let me know if you've seen this: 1) Start an Xterm... 2) Start 'vi' in that xterm. 3) Shut down the X server, forcing logoff (i.e. CNTL-ALT-BS) 4) Restart the X server 5) Start another xterm - which happens to get the same pty as the one running 'vi' 6) Suddenly, you'll discover that some of your keystrokes are going to that (now supposedly dead) 'vi' session, which is also producing output to your pty (xterm) - along with the shell you have running in your xterm. That is - it would appear that a SIGHUP is getting lost; or the pty driver isn't sending one when the client side is cut off... - Dave Rivers -
