Sometimes (not very often), after I do "ssh somehost", the resulting bash runs without a some controlling terminal function. Running "cat" from that shell (on somehost) yields a cat that cannot be interrupted with a signal from keyboard. ^D works. "stty -a" shows isig set. tty shows PTY slave correctly. This is related to 2.4.7 and SMP, I think. -- Pete
