I suspect vi's not handling an EAGAIN error return. I get this on -stable when ripping a cd with grip/cdda2wav. Are you doing something that runs at very high priority when it happens? Judging from the comments in /usr/src/sys/errno.h, it could also be that there is a resource deadlock and vi is not translating the errno correctly. Anyway, pending a fix in vi to handle retryable errors, the workaround is not to do whatever it is that you're doing at the same time. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.Received on Mon Jul 14 2003 - 13:42:32 UTC
