In recently upgrading our lone DN4500 from SR10.1 to SR10.3 I have encountered several annoying problems. Has anyone else seen these (or better yet, have a fix :-)? 1. uucp only works with a debug level of 4 or greater. Anything else causes the line to be hungup within milliseconds of going off hook and a "LOST LINE" entry to be put in the status. Changing baud rates doesnt help. The modem is a T2500. Things worked perfectly at SR10.1 with the exact same configuration files. 2. The alias "alias ltm ls -alt|m" randomly works. At other times all I get is "Killed" with a traceback that terminates with a call to (I'll have to paraphrase here, I didnt write down the exact tb output) ec_$wait_forio. 3. On occasion uustat will simply give a segmentation fault, then a minute or so later will work fine. As for environment, I involed the disk to defrag it using the re-initialize existing volume option (#3 ?) before loading SR10.3. SR10.1 was NOT installed using hard links but SR10.3 was installed using hard links. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Howard Moftich LSI Logic Corp. - Waltham, MA uunet!lsilwm!howardm

Our setup: DN4500, SR10.3.
There seems to be random behavior when using pipes! I ran the following
commnad 3 times in a row before this (output is a direct past from another window):
% od /etc/hosts | more
Stopped (tty output)
[1] 3380 3381
% jobs
[1] + Done od /etc/hosts |
Stopped (tty output) more
%
When I typed "fg" the window froze!
NOTE: there is nothing wrong with the "od" command, "cat" works just as well and
/etc/hosts has 41 lines in it.
