However, when the uptime exceeded 250 days, the zsh began having problems with the terminal. Of course, the uptime should have nothing to do with this, but on the other hand, there where no software updates that I could imagine having affect to zsh's terminal handling. Zsh, termcap, libc or anything like that was not updated. The flaw in the terminal handling appears as follows: when I type text on the command line, only the first two characters are echoed. The line does show up, if erase a character. Also, the command line is only executed after I press return twice. I tried updating to 3.0.7 and 3.1.5, and the bug still appeared. Needless to say, bash and other shell and tools are unaffected. I have not experienced this problem on any other machine. Since the problem only appeared after 250 days of uptime its rather hard to trace down on other machines. However, I would appreciate any clues on where to look. For now, I forced to use bash -- which is clearly not satisfactory -- so I am keen to find fix or workaround for this. -- v -- -- Ville Herva Ville.Herva@netspan.fi +358-50-5164500 Netspan Oy netspan@netspan.fi PL 65 FIN-02151 Espoo http://www.netspan.fi For my PGP key, finger vherva@netspan.fi.
