Chet, How can I help capture data about this problem?
When I run bash in one konsole and it hangs, I do an strace on that pid and the strace -xvfp <pid> always shows pselect. Eventually, the results come back but til then, the session is frozen. I suppose I could run strace to a file on bash and make (or try) the failure appear. Your thoughts? Regards, George... George...
