Index: ucb/ex/ex.c Fix Description: The "vi" command mishandles terminal stop signals received shortly after startup. Repeat-By: Immediately after typing in the command vi /etc/passwd tap the Control and Z keys (or whatever keys you use to generate a "terminal stop" signal). When you restart the editing session, note that the editor is "Using open mode" Fix: Delay catching of the "terminal stop" signal. The deletion and addition below apply to the 4.1bsd version of "ex.c". Changes are bracketed with compilation directives conditioned on "OLDVERSION". As usual, the trade secret status of the code involved precludes a clearer posting. First, remove the existing signal catch: #ifdef OLDVERSION #ifdef SIGTSTP if (!hush && signal(SIGTSTP, SIG_IGN) == SIG_DFL) signal(SIGTSTP, onsusp), dosusp++; #endif #endif And second, add the signal catch back in later in the code: . . . #ifndef OLDVERSION #ifdef SIGTSTP if (!hush && signal(SIGTSTP, SIG_IGN) == SIG_DFL) signal(SIGTSTP, onsusp), dosusp++; #endif #endif if (setexit() == 0 && !fast && intty) . . . -- Ex is an Elizabeth Taylor trademark. -- UUCP: ..decvax!seismo!elsie!ado ARPA: elsie!ado@seismo.ARPA DEC, VAX and Elsie are Digital Equipment and Borden trademarks
