No worries. I wasn't sure if there was a reason -stable was involved; I saw it and thought "Hmm, he mentions a 9.0-RC1/amd64 box, maybe that's where the problem is? I must be missing something", so I thought I'd ask. Mistakes happen, especially ones from me! :-) > > As for your problem: your locale looks incorrect. It's > > "de_DE.ISO8859-1".

I find the "randomness" of the situation more perplexing than fixing your locale (I have a feeling you do too). I imagine this will probably fix the errors you were seeing, but I'm still surprised that the errors would happen seemingly intermittently. I wonder how one could go about debugging such a thing. Hmm. Are there any "environment complexities" you might have, such as using GNU screen or tmux? I'm cycling through ideas as they come to me. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
