I remember reading an article in which another Minix user was
experiencing the same problem I have, but I have not been able
to find either the original article, or a follow-up with a
solution. If there was a solution and I missed it, I apologize
for the redundancy. The problem is this:
If, when using elvis, I press the ESC key from command mode, the
editor dies after about a 1-2 second delay. The screen is not
cleared, and the words "Alarm Clock" are printed followed on the
next line (below where the cursor was when elvis died) by my shell
prompt. However, no input is taken, the system is locked. If this
is not bad enough, once I get the system going again, I can't
re-edit the file with elvis, it errs out with "<file> is busy"
message.
If any Minix wizzards out there can tell me how to fix the problem,
or at least how to renable editing of these files, please mail a
solution to me, I would appreciate it and will post a summary...
