Hello David,

I just found time to be able to play around with the
CM. I am probably doing someting very silly here but,

If I try to 'more /proc/cm/devices' the VT I am using
will clear and display a few lines then halt. No ammount
of ^C will stop the more. Doing a ^'scroll-lock' shows
that more is still running but has a '-' sign in front
of its PID in the output, The real trouble is that None
of the other VT's are able to respond either. I beleive that
more (or cat, I tried both) seem to be using all of the
system trying to get data from /proc/cm/devices .

I'll try a 'top' running at the same time & see if it can
capture the troiuble before all the system gets used.

OUCH, I stand corrected the above happpened twice, But without
running 'top -d1' Now I get the one or the other of the appended
Oops , What is really odd is that the value in the EIP isn't
even close to anything in my System.map file my file ends at
0020b9b5 . :-{
