Re: Ctrl-C Dogs Session

[OpenBSD Mailing Lists <openbsd@soltec.net>]

Did you ever get this figured out?  I just upgraded to the latest 
snapshot I could find (March 18th date on some of the files, or 
something close to that) and started getting this behavior... it 
seems to be happen anytime my login shell is tcsh or csh.  If I exec 
to sh after first telnetting in, it doesn't happen until I start up 
tcsh or csh, or su to root (which uses csh as it's shell)

I recompiled and re-installed tcsh but nothing changed...

I'll try loging in on the console tommorrow and see if the behavior 
continues.  But since exec sh made a difference, I expect it to 
behave similarly.

This didn't happen with openBSD 2.3...
