Ok, with 2.6.32-rc3 running now.

Example:
dpkg-source -x of a big debian source package
which is more or less untarring a big .tar and then applying a diff
which is much smaller (tar.gz: 482M, diff.gz: 412k)

The dpkg-source has finished, I am back at the prompt.

At the same time a simple
	$ <ENTER>
in a different xterm did not produce *any* thing, no output, for about
30 seconds. I mean 30 seconds waiting for an empty command is a bit
strange I would say.

I don't know to which this is related, but it seems quite buggy.

Best wishes

Norbert

CLABBY (adj.)
A 'clabby' conversation is one stuck up by a commissionaire or
cleaning lady in order to avoid any further actual work. The opening
gambit is usually designed to provoke the maximum confusion, and
therefore the longest possible clabby conversation. It is vitally
important to learn the correct, or 'clixby' (q.v.), responses to a
clabby gambit, and not to get trapped by a 'ditherington' (q.v.). For
instance, if confronted with a clabby gambit such as 'Oh, mr Smith, I
didn't know you'd had your leg off', the ditherington response is 'I
haven't....' whereas the clixby is 'good.'
