Some have speculated to me that this is a problem with /bin/csh. One person
wrote to say that the problem has been fixed with AIX3.1.5 which was
announced and scheduled to ship March 22. Until then I guess we get to
keep killing processes by hand -- I haven't tried to run processes under
any of the other shells to see if we have a similar problem. Thanks. --Tim
