[comp.os.vms] Trouble with Terminal and RWAST on VMS4.5

Hello!        

I've got some trouble with a VAX 8250 running VMS-4.5.
Caused to unknown circumstances, a terminal-related process becames the
status RWAST (Resource Wait for Asynchronous System Trap or anything 
like this). No CTRL-Y or CTRL-Z could interrupt the process. Although
CTRL-T didn't work. When the system-administrator tries to stop the
process via STOP/ID=<id-number> the process still appears on a SH SYS
output. But if man tried to STOP it again, you get NON EXISTENT PROCESS.
Now my questions are:

- How could one prevent a process to become RWAST  and
- How could one cancel a process wich becomes RWAST ? (we had to do a
  reboot, to be able to use the terminal again).

Thanks in advance.....    Chris
