This frustrating little problem...
When having a running process, ctrl-c or kill doesn't work on my system.
You have to use kill -9.
A simple example:
ping 127.0.0.1
this process is meant to run as long as you want, then you ctrl-c it to
get your statistics.
However, ctrl-c doesn't work. No reaction whatsoever, the program just
keeps on running.
So I have to ctlr-z it to reclaim my command line, then kill -9.
Normal "kill" is likewise. No reaction, no error messages, the process
just keeps on running.
It affects all programs as far as I can see.
I'm using debian 2.1 (slink. Long story and a slow connection.) with the
latest updates, gnome-icewm and bash.
Sure gnome is marked experimental here, but..
Where could the problem be?
Kernel? It's a customized debian-source-2.0.38 kernel, but the most
exceptional thing about *that* is ip-masquerading support.
I'm numbskulled here, so any support appreciated.
