I sent a similar message about a month ago but got no response. == Wondering if this bug has been fixed or if it is even known. It has been present for a while now. I am using Solaris 2.5.1, but have seen it on Solaris 2.4 and OSF1 V3.2. It is present in both zsh 3.0 and 3.0.1, I seem to remember first seeing it about a year ago, but who knows. xclock & xclock & %1 % % (ZSH Output: zsh: can't set tty pgrp: invalid argument) >>From now on all other jobs are "lost". If you type "fg" you get "fg: no job control in this shell". If you were to do a kill %1 instead of the "%1 ; " things continue to work normally, and you get the expected "fg: no current job" for the output of the last "%". If you do just a "%" instead of "%1" things also continue to work fine. This is the smallest sequence that I can find that causes the error. I don't know anything about the code in attachtty, the bug not even be there, but the kill() is returning success. I only hit this bug about once every other week, and it bothers me since I lose my history when I have to start a new window. Oh well. :-) Thanks, Andy -- awick@vt.edu Andy Wick awick@purple.org Virginia Tech
