Maybe it it a kernel problem with your ptys. Does closing all your terminals fix anything? Restarting X? Rebooting? At a bit of a loss as to why you're having problems. You could try debian-users list. I'll keep this bug open for a bit until you find out if you have a generic problem with your system or if it is something breaking due to a new upload. -- David Pashley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
