[comp.sys.next] Strange behavior

Hi, I just had this strange experience about 2 minutes ago...

I was opening a file.ps. Since I clicked it from Drectory Browser, the
Preview was launched. Fine. Then a warning panel poped up saying that
Preview has trouble openning that .ps file. I clicked the ok button (or
was it continue?) suddenly, the scren cleared up, and with 2 seconds, I 
was with the login window! What happend?

Since my modem's lights indicated that it was still on-hook, I logged in
immediately. At Terminal, I checked the process with ps command, only
2 processes showed up! There's no sign of older process. I then used
"finger" and "w" to see who's on. "me" was loggend in twice. One (earlier
one) at console, one (later login one, which is what I am with) at ttyp2.

Funny, since the modem was on-hook, I decided torun kermit. It got the line
without any problem! After "connect" and a few return, I was back with my
login session here!

Now I opened another Terminal window and issued "ps" comand, Now, all
the processes are shown!! What's happening here? Any clue?
