It has been there a long time, I don't know exactly how long. When a user logs in to the local the system using rlogin (with zsh as login shell, of course), and for some reason the session crashes (typically because the remote process is beeng killed because of idle time) then the local zsh process hangs and consumes 99% CPU time. The behaviour is not 100% reproducible, to me it seems that it happens maybe 20% of the time. This does not happen with sh, ksh or csh as login shell, but I am still not quite sure whether it's really zsh's foult or rather an IRIX bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because the problem occurs quite often on my system blocking useful work! -- Cheers, Achim -- PS: I do have problems with other programs hangin occasionaly. The gnuserver process for emacs client/server editing is one such example. I don't know if this has anything to do with the first problem, just thought I'd mention it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achim Braemer braemer@doc.physi.uni-heidelberg.de Physikalisches Institut http://doc.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/~braemer Philosophenweg 12 Telephone: 06221 / 549370 Fax: 475733 D-69120 Heidelberg From DESY dial direct 6-207-9370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
