here's a possibility:
/sys/src/cmd/auth/factotum/util.c:648: readcons(char *prompt, char *def, int raw)
interprets 0x7F when it reads /dev/cons in raw mode.
i suspect that something (presumably via /sys/src/9/boot)
is causing factotum to prompt for a key but for
some reason factotum's prompt isn't appearing.

Message-ID: <A12EAD94F69FD211ABB800805F650CC402CEE62F@eagle.pigroup.co.uk>
the system is at home and i'm not. but i tried typing a variety
of things at it and nothing had any effect until del. it could
be coincidence. it did respond to ^T^Tp but i didn't note the
results down. kfs and factotum were running.
i'll do further experiments.

i applied the change to the usb driver and now it waits for
a few seconds after "version..." before moving on (without
requiring keystrokes) to "time...". i haven't looked further.

it would be nice to know how many
factotum processes were running;
that would test forsyth's theory.
did you figure out how to make the
problem go away?

what if you type "criswell" instead?
i don't see why del should do anything -- del is only special
to rio. as far as the kernel is concerned, del is just another
keystroke at the point you're at.
it could be that we've screwed up scheduling and typing
generates interrupts which keep the system going, but i don't
really think that's true. can you type ^t ^t p without
making it continue? if so, it'd be nice to know what the
kfs lines look like.

after fiddling with plan9.ini my pc (boot and kfs off local drive)
now pauses after kfs... version...
if i press del it continues to time... but otherwise hangs for
at least several minutes.
any suggestions?
thanks,
