Speaking of terminal locking up... on OSX I noticed when I try to overflow buffers with perl -e print blah blah I get word too long at some point.... as soon as I hit the Word too long sweet spot ... give it a few more A's and it usually aggrivates the terminal to the point to which it is useless... does anyone know why? I think this gentleman below had the same sort of thing happen to him. -KF On Friday, November 9, 2001, at 06:42 AM, Walter Park wrote: > I can not reproduce this error: > > ------------------------------ > some.solaris: uname -a > SunOS some.machine.edu 5.7 Generic_106542-17 i86pc i386 i86pc > > some.solaris: /usr/dt/bin/dtmail -f `perl -e 'print "A"x1200'` > Word too long > ------------------------------ > Solaris 7 for Intel with the 7_x86_Recommended.zip patches from Sun. > It did lock up my terminal but no segfault and no core. > > Walt > >
