[comp.sys.dec] ULTRIX terminal driver interrupt handling

mark@csd4.milw.wisc.edu.UUCP (04/09/87)

We are running Ultrix V1.2A on a uVax II.  I have noticed the following 
annoying behavior:  while running some harmless utility from the csh,
I hit the interrupt key (^?), and once out of about 30 times or so, the
key is displayed on the screen as ^?, like it should be... and then 
displayed again, and again, ad infinitum!  Meanwhile, no other terminals
get response, including the console.  The only way out of this is to
restart the system.  Has anyone else come across this problem?  Is
there a patch for it?
(Sorry, if this is an old known bug.)

Please mail replies to

and I will post the answer(s) if there is interest.
