In A/UX 2.0, I am having what I believe is a singular problem cause by three programs. 1. ksh with set -o emacs 2. emacs 18.55 3. bash In ALL three cases when invoked, tty output stops as soon as I press the carriage return. In case 1 I can recover by typing a CTRL-Q; however, after a <CR> is pressed I'm back where I am. For the others, I have to reboot. This only happens on the console which is running the standard getty. Interestingly, if you run an xterm window, they all work!. I have played with stty and gettydef settings, but to no avail. Anyone seen this and know what's happening? I don't have enough disk space for source code; I suspect a problem in an ioctl() call being issued in all three cases that is not handled correctly on the console interface. It acts as if all tty output is blocked. Interestingly, if you place a terminal on one of the serial ports, it works ok. Hardware: MAC II with 13" B&W monitor with color card (4-bit), 5 MB memory and 80 MB drive. Dennis Mail: govoni_dennis@tandem.com
