I have 4.0 running on my system here...like it....
However, here's a weird one. I've long been accustomed to keeping a root
shell around for when I need it. I just "su", do my thing, then use
"suspend" to stop the process until I need it again. At that point, a
simple "fg" gets it back. It's worked great for years on a variety of
systems.
Under 4.0, though, when I try it the process simply hangs. "ps" shows the
process in the "D" (uninterruptable sleep) state. It is simply stuck there
until the system reboots. Kind of annoying.
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks,
jon
