We are running v7, with all major known bug fixes applied, on an 11/70 with 1/2 Mb of memory and two 300M byte disk drives on a Systems Industries controller, emulating the DEC RM05 controller. We have some locally written device drivers, but they have been examined fairly carefully. Frequently a process (often a shell) loses its controlling terminal and appears to have no controlling terminal. This makes interrupt, quit and hangups impossible to generate from the terminal for these processes. Less often, a directory may lose all permissions. The time of day sometimes loses 20 minutes per day. Sometimes the system echoes characters typed but doesn't run any processes. Has anyone else ever seen these symptoms? If so, please send me mail.
