/sys5/bin/sh last compiled 90/04/05 (size: 89511) seems to be broken under 10.3 in especially two situations: 1) After some time, no commands are accepted anymore, except built-in commands like cd or pwd. After typing a command the next shell prompt appears immediately, the command does not seem to be executed: commands that should take a while like find // -print are ignored without delay. However, the shell recovers after several attempts. The culprit might be hashserv.c (4.4, last modified 90/04/05). 2) Sometimes simple commands (grep etc.) are looping forever in "pfm_$set_live_regs" line 239. Such processes cannot be killed nor blasted. Because they use the whole process-time you have to shut the node. We have not seen that behavior in ksh or csh YET. local apolllo people say there is no bug ... Is it possible to take an older version of /bin/sh? Thank You
