I see a Konsole process and a bash process. When I strace the Konsole process I get a series of things... I don't know what I'm doing or what they mean... 'ioctl (3, FIONREAD, [Y])' appears a lot with Y=0 or 32... anyway, it's responsive. OTOH, when I 'strace -p' the frozen bash process, I get: Process XXXX attached - interrupt to quit ioctl(0, TCSETSW (at this point I try hitting return a few times, nothing) (I hit control-C) <unfinished ...> Process XXXX detached Any idea what this means? -Alan
