That's a theoretically possible cause, indeed. Normally the terminal emulator sends an endless stream of characters only if - some heavy object is lying on the keyboard, or - some key is stuck in depressed position. Both wasn't the case here. So, I would still think that some of the 'terminal_ring_bell ();' invocations in info/session.c was being executed too often. But since I didn't attach gdb to 'info' at that moment, I don't know where. Bruno
