If I have a console login, and ctrl-c a "repeat" command, such as:
repeat 50 ...
sometimes future input is messed up. Occassionally, I can squeeze a
ctrl-d by, and then I generally see the message:
tty reset pgrp from ... to ...
It sounds like the csh is not doing the correct thing with interrupting
a repeat command.
This bug is not easy to reproduce, and I can't say I was running a stock
RT 7.1H kernel, either... I had a new kernel with the following changes:
IBM's latest async driver was incorporated
hz value is different
tty spl is different
entirely new version of machine/asy*
PROMISC is enabled.
However, I do not think the kernel is at fault...
