I was running cvs as user, and now trying your tests... it appears the |
| 61 |
trouble has stopped... doesn't occur now in cvs cmds either. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
There was a reboot in between, so may never now what was going on. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Prior to rebooting I had tried to get a fresh env by ssh |
| 66 |
user@localhost from an xterm. Hoping to rule out some oddball env |
| 67 |
problem, but the file descriptor problem persisted. However it has |
| 68 |
apparently not survived a reboot. |
