Schrof" To: zsh-users@sunsite.dk Subject: (Revisited): zsh + less == hard hang of tty. Message-ID: <20060926142946.GA1608@lucien.blight.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2i Hi all, I am not having much luck with Google doing a search for zsh, less, and 'hung'/'hang' - perhaps you all can help me out. I am seeing a nasty problem that I saw several years ago. I was thinking it was fixed, but am seeing it again. I'm running zsh 4.2.5 and less 394 (3.9.4?) on a Fedora core5 system. Here's the problem - it happens exactly like it did several years ago. When in zsh, if I do: less , the terminal HARD HANGS. No control signals are interpreted from the keyboard. If I'm ssh'ed in, I have to kill the session. If I'm in one of screen's windows, I have to kill the window with CTRL-A SHFT-K. If I'm on console on one of the tty's, I have to log in from another source and kill the less process. It's been a long time since I've submitted a bug on something. Please remind me what other info I can provide to be helpful. If so desired, I can try and strace it. Also, note that doing: cat | less works FINE. Back in the day, I could swear I remember someone seeing something weird in zsh code pertaining to behavior in a zsh instance that had been operating for more than 250 days, but in this case, I just turned on the machine. Let me know what the next steps are to fixing this nasty business. Thanks! - Larry Schrof
