I wonder if "top" is different between Sarge and Sid? http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents tells me that "top" is in package "base/procps". My Sarge box has: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache showpkg procps | head -n 3 Package: procps Versions: 1:3.2.1-2(/var/lib/apt/lists/Debian%20GNU_Linux%203.1%20r0a%20%5fSar ge%5f%20-%20Official%20i386%20Binary-1%20(20050607)_dists_unstable_main_ binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/apt/lists/mirrors.kernel.org_debian_dists _stable_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_ debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/apt/lists/linux. csua.berkeley.edu_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/li b/dpkg/status) I use DOS line endings. Perhaps that's the cause of the bug? Run Cygwin setup, change line ending mode, test ssh and top -- problem still there. > As I've said, this works fine for me in both cmd and rxvt, including > with the 7x12 font David has said he prefers. > So it looks like the bug in question was caught and fixed already - I > suggest trying the package from testing first, then the one from > unstable if testing doesn't sort it.. > The package in question is ncurses-base I filed a bug report.
