This is on a current woody system; but I think the problem was introduced
in an upgrade that was part of potato.  See below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ps eax | fgrep more | cut -c1-80
23483 pts/4    S      0:00 more /etc/passwd
23488 pts/9    S      0:00 fgrep more
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# killall -HUP more
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# kill -HUP 23483
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ps eax | fgrep more | cut -c1-80
23483 pts/4    S      0:00 more /etc/passwd
26267 pts/9    S      0:00 fgrep more
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# killall -USR1 more

That is, I started more /etc/passwd on pts/9,
HUP will not kill it, either using killall or
using kill -HUP pid.  Obviously, control-c does
not work either.

Any ideas?

Jim
