I don't think the problem is in xterm but rather in /dev/tty. Consider the behaviour of the following program when run under an xterm and `inside' a script command. Very interesting. It seems that /dev/tty doesn't like to be opened for read in general? This can't be the entirety of the problem, though, because /dev/tty works fine from a real terminal or a more ordinary pty running from telnet or rlogin, just not from inside an xterm window. Does anybody know if this is fixed in 4.4c? Assuming it's a bona fide bug with /dev/tty, no. That's what we're running. But I don't think I'm yet convinced yet that /dev/tty is at fault. -- Karl "We make men without [sentiment] and expect of them virtue and enterprise.
