Description: The following combination of events seems to cause reads of a tty to return EOF (VAX System V, Rel 2.0, Version 2; but may apply to your system as well): 1) type a character, then backspace 2) have your terminal set into raw mode, then back to canonical mode This problem arises (for example), if I type vnews<CR>, then n^H, and vnews decides I have no news. Prove it: Place the following text in a file called "foo". sleep 10 : remember previous settings x=`stty -g` stty raw stty $x Now type: sh foo<CR> x^H<no CR> After 10 seconds, your shell will exit. This applies to both the tty driver and the sxt driver. Ron Williams utzoo!hcrvax!hcrvx1!ronald
