As soon as the shell is loaded devices appear to disappear and subsequent printing to a device screws up the table of file handles. The problem is in GA and the SP. It occurs with all shells from 3.1x to 3.31. IBM knows about the problem. It is being handled by the Novell Netware group. Hopefully there will be some solutions soon. Or at least before 2.1 is released. I have not tested it will the 2.1 beta to see if the problem still exists.
