# ps -fjlLunobody; lsof -u nobody both show nothing. No lots of processes for me. SC> Do you get it from the Linux console (emacs -nw)? Yes, just tired it in emacs -nw -f shell and after 10 good logins I got a bad one. SC> Have you tried changing nobody's shell? I don't want to. CR> Does su do anything with process groups? That is an advanced question not for little me. Anyway, the only other human to have reproduced any of this mess is http://bugs.debian.org/476519#52 Nobody :-) has responded to the points of that message #52.
