I've done some further testing on this and found another condition that is needed to trigger the problem:
a tiling WM. Aron, I guess you are using a tiling WM like wmii, awesome or something, too? I found when the window of urxvt isn't resized immediately on open (as it regulary happens in a tiled WM) the problem disappears. It really works fine with icewm, it also works fine with awesome in floating window mode. I've tried wmii in tiled mode too, and it triggers the problem here as well. So, still a race condition and related to SIGWINCH? I have no idea why SIGINT (caused by ctrl-c) should block depending on the terminal-size, but at least this gives another clue where the problem is located. _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
