Well, no, it hasn't been fixed, but that's cause I never run into the
problem. ("problem" - that's a nice way to say "<censored> cheapo operating
system bug") The only time I hit the bug in the last couple of years was
a couple of minutes ago, when I made the system puke by loading in a 40k
file and LEANING on the ^D key (and even then it was about 30k down before
the shrooms walked across the screen.)
The easy solution would be to just eat typeahead, but I've a friend here
who would beat me into a pulp with my keyboard if I was to implement such
a fix. *sigh* one of those goddamn things that make me wonder why I didn't
buy a Mac...
I'll figure out a "fix" and wire it into Levee this week.
