Lately, I've been having trouble with bash.  I get the following error
when I exit telnet (the telnet client was logged into some other host,
typically a UNIX host, but sometimes another NT box running Sergey's INETD
package).

$ exit
Connection closed by foreign host.
(c:\usr\bin\sh.exe 1166) wait_subproc: wait failed. nchildren 1, wait -1,
err 6
(c:\usr\bin\sh.exe 1166) wait_subproc: event[1] 0x20, error 6

and then the shell hangs.  Ctrl-C (Z, \, ...) do nothing.

What does that error mean?

Geoff
