System name: e40-008-4
Type and version: KN02ca 7.4G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
I can cause the help program to crash and the problem is repeatable.
I am currently logged into e40-008-4 by modem using the phone line
258-7000 and my vc404 terminal. To cause the crash, I type "help",
then "2", then "14" (which should be Dotfiles), then "k" and then
"27". After the crash (by which I mean something like a segmentation
fault) my line settings are screwed up with the effect that nothing
I type is echoed to the screen, although it is received.
What's wrong:
Help crashes.
What should have happened:
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
