Thanks for all the replies (too many to count). Original question at the bottom. Sun support pointed me to the following bug report from earlier this month: Bug Id: 4843340 Category: kernel Subcategory: streams State: committed Synopsis: patch 105181-34 /kernel/strmod/ptem returns EINVAL for TIOCGWINSZ ioctl Description: full-screen console apps like vi, less etc. seem to have an incorrect notion of terminal dimensions when running inside an xterm, so that, e.g., if you open a file with vi, about 40 lines, say, scroll off the top of your xterm. this is with /usr/openwin/bin/xterm, although another xterm we have on the same machine exhibits the same problem other symptoms: <snip> 2- if you use dtterm with a larger than default window size, vi uses only the first 25 lines of the window. <snip> There appear to be varying terminal sypmtoms related to this kernel patch. Good call by Crist Clark on ptem though our file looks unpatched.

This occurs while using SSH or telnet from other _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed May 7 13:21:11 2003
