potato -"heyho!" message?
I upgraded from hamm to potato yesterday without any trouble, however after the upgrade was completed, I noticed a strange problem. I had several Eterms open when the message "heyho!" (followed by a newline character) started to be repeatedly printed on one of them. The keyboard did not seem to have any effect (even CTRL-C) and the only way to stop the message from being repeated was to close the Eterm window. That was the second time that this problem occurred. The first time I didn't take much notice of it, so I'm not sure whether it appeared on an xterm or an Eterm. The second time, the problem occurred, I tried "ps -a" on another terminal while the message was being printed, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Has anybody else experienced this? Does anyone know what it is? Anthony

If so there is a package called 'heyu' which is used to talk to an X10 controller. That 'might' be what you are seeing.
