It seems to be caused by defining the STTY envariable, and executing a sequence of commands hooked together via shell pipes from my .zshrc file. For each pipe, I get one of the above stty error messages. If I unset the STTY envariable, the problem goes away (I even get the error messages if the envariable is set to the empty string!) Why ? What does setting this envariable have to do with operation on a socket. Isn't this envariable ignored unless the shell (i.e. command) being run is an interactive shell ? I'm running this on a SunOS 4.1.3 box, but I've also seen it on a Solaris 2.5 machine. This is with Zsh 3.0.0. Thanks for any clues, greg - -- Greg Sylvain Phone: 301.918.1985 Fax: 301.918.8154
