This response is in reply to comments made by Bj|rn Gr|nvall

I tried to respond by e-mail, but the mail bounced.

I have tried your sample program, and cannot get it to fail on OSx
5.0c-900110, using any of an rcp pty, xterm pty or script pty.

Could you please provide some more information on the version of
OSx in which you see the problem, and the precise conditions under which
you can make it hapen?

A couple of points,
1. I read news regularly, but have not seen you comments previously (is
   it possible they are not escaping for worldwide distribution?)

2. All sorts of Pyramid foks read news, including the "OSx hackers".
