   In recently upgrading our lone DN4500 from SR10.1 to SR10.3 I have
   encountered several annoying problems.  Has anyone else seen these
   (or better yet, have a fix :-)?


   1. ...

   2. The alias "alias ltm ls -alt|m" randomly works.  At other times
      all I get is "Killed" with a traceback that terminates with a 
      call to (I'll have to paraphrase here, I didnt write down the
      exact tb output) ec_$wait_forio.

Our setup: DN4500, SR10.3.

There seems to be random behavior when using pipes!  I ran the following
commnad 3 times in a row before this (output is a direct past from another window):

% od /etc/hosts | more

Stopped (tty output)
[1] 3380 3381
% jobs
[1]  + Done                 od /etc/hosts |
       Stopped (tty output) more
%

When I typed "fg" the window froze!

NOTE: there is nothing wrong with the "od" command, "cat" works just as well and
/etc/hosts has 41 lines in it.
