I just got the same behaviour rlogged in to another host (HP-UX 9.x), there was
no output available after ^C interrupting 'ping $remote_uphost' from there,
again it was a session unprotected by 'screen' on the 386bsd host. BTW,
(I forgot to mention) this behaviour does not occur on the virtual consoles,
it is only across a network login. Could it be a problem which is compounded
by the terminal emulator that I am using on the client machine? I telnetted
direct from the client terminal to the HP-UX machine, and the problem did not
occur. This is a ping time of around quarter to half a second with 2 packets
dropped in the process of interrupting the command (network speed is limited
by slip).
