Does the same to me. The quick fix is ``don't do that then'' - quit `more' by hitting `q', close the session by terminating bash (hit ^D or type `exit') rather than chopping off the telnet connection from your end. I've had a prod around but I still don't understand what is going on. At first I thought that it was just that the rogue bash was ignoring SIGHUP or something; however manually SIGHUPing it (instead of closing the telnet connection) contradicts this. It may be that the bug is in telnetd rather than bash, but the fact that bash starts eating CPU when it loses its tty is a bug in itself. ttfn/rjk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: richard@sfere.elmail.co.uk (Richard Kettlewell) Subject: Bug#1702: Acknowledgement (was: telnet+su root->thermal process) In-Reply-To: <8MxkrSOM2@sfere.elmail.co.uk> References: <8MxkrSOM2@sfere.elmail.co.uk> Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
