This has nothing to do with the shell. Its a fork-bomb, and you must protect your system with ulimit defaults. (However I dont know the csh synta, so it might be something else? At least a "locks whole system" command is never a bug you can fix in the specific shell) Greetings Bernd -- (OO) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ( .. ) [EMAIL PROTECTED],linux.de,debian.org} http://www.eckes.org/ o--o 1024D/E383CD7E [EMAIL PROTECTED] v:+497211603874 f:+497211606754 (O____O) When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl!
