Since I moved to FreeBSD 7, I noticed that if I press Enter on a file name in the Midnight Commander (which associates the start of the proper program with the file name as parameter, controlled by mc.ext file) that the program is sometimes started 2 or three times. This is especially annoying for video files that then run multiple instances of mplayer, or image files that then run multiple instances of xzgv -tz. Any idea where this comes from? Never had this before... Maybe it has something to do with the "subshell support" new to the Midnight Commander, which often results in read (subshell_pty...): No such file or directory (2) after crashing the MC and not running it anymore. Or maybe it is due to to "sticky keys" on the USB stack? The keyboard is (still) a Sun USB Type 6 keyboard which didn't have any problems before. Additionally, it's not my fingers, I'm a typist - learned on a real typewriter. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
