Config: OS/2 2.1 beta, VGA, no-87, 8M, HPFS, 386-33.

1. Most of the time, a shell-escape from CKermit 5A(188) (16- or 32- bit) will
lock the session entirely. It is not possible to kill such a session. To
use the com port, a re-boot is required. Same experience with cmd.exe
and 4os2/32. Note: The shell-escape is done after a connect--shell escapes
before a connect are ok.

2. The 2.1 beta breaks the "strings" utility from hobbes (it just repeats the
same stuff). This program worked under 2.0 GA. Changing the stack size (with
exehdr) did change the behavior, but did not fix the program. Does anyone 
have source for a good "strings" program?

3. M Kretzer reported earlier that the 2.1 beta breaks MSC 6.00A. In later
mail, he remarked that his problems may have been due to the DELDIR bug.
MSC 6.00A works under 2.1 beta in my preliminary tests.

4. I get plenty of locked sessions, expecially from Windows apps. The 
Maple V windows demo can't do help (and will eventually lock). I've been
able to lock cardfile (launched seamless) by asking for help.
