I have a variety of SolarisB 8 boxes where I run VNC 4.1.1 with no problem, but now I have a Solaris 10 box with new 1593 MHz CPUs, and when vi sets the visual bell off on my xterm, vncviewer locks.B I ran a truss, and saw that vncviewer got a zero return from read on the socket.B Since it is just a different box, I suspect some subtle timing issue.
There is a similar open thread on vncviewer using SSH, which might be the same problem. In the past on Solaris, IB have occasionally seen sockets returning zero to a read() without being at EOF (connection closed or disconnected).B We wrote a loop withB poll(0,0,1) to insist on 50 consecutiveB return zero read()B returnsB across 50 Milliseconds before declaring EOF to avoid this!
