Wow. That is very strange to hear. In fact it is so strange that I am in disbelief in how that can happen or even be related. What do you mean by "-s"? Usually the terminal cursor is an block or an underscore. But a "-s" sounds like something completely different. Can you describe this in a little more detail? I can only think that there are some escape sequences being emited by the compilation which is being interpreted by the terminal. > and to change the -s back into a cursor one would have to reboot. Does restarting the terminal fix the problem? Rebooting seems much to harsh for this. If the terminal is changing cursors then starting a new terminal should restart using the original cursor. > This mysterious bug is set off by the newer version of > Coreutils found on SuSE 9.2.

Unfortunately there is not enough information to deduce the root cause of this problem. There is no way to reproduce it. In particular what version of coreutils are you trying to compile? Try this. Compile and redirect all output to a log file. If my guess that it is an escape sequence being emitted that is causing the problem then this will prevent it from going to the terminal. ./configure make > make.out 2>&1 If that works to avoid this problem then we know it is a character sequence in the compile output. Then we can divide the problem up further and get to the specific cause.
