The time until this happens is varying, I have not found a action from the user that might cause it. When running of the normal PC-console. The console will sometimes get into a state where it does not accept control sequences (something like TIOCTRL). This I have found normally happens just after a write by syslogd. After this have happened I cannot run more, vi or emacs. Logging out and logging in againg "cures" the problem though.. 8). I thought that maybe syslogd is what causes the keyboard hangs in X as well. I am running NetBSD-0.9 and XFree86-1.3 (386BSD version). PC is ISA, IDE, SCSI. Any thoughts? -- /Johan W}hlin (.. where the } really is an a with a ring above it.. 8))
