i am using the latest 1.5.5-1, with everything updated via setup within the last
couple of days. Windows 2000, all the latest sp's and patches.
ever since upgrading from 1.3.something to 1.5.5-1, i've gotten periodic hangs
of various sorts. in all cases, the console is completely wedged and can only
be killed through the upper-right-hand close button.
[1] i have an expect script that runs telnet. sometimes when run, it gets as
far as `Spawning telnet xxx ...' then wedges, with 100% CPU chewage. this
appears to increase in frequency until eventually it happens always, and can
only be fixed by rebooting.
[2] for awhile i was getting 100% repeatable wedges [no CPU usage] by running
tail on a long file. the following is what tail was attempting to display:

[in place of \x sequences are actual characters; none of these lines should
wrap, if they are, that's my mail reader's fault.]
it was hanging when trying to display the line with the weird characters in it.
last thing you'd see is the previous line.
unfortunately i can't reproduce this any longer. instead, i get output like
this:
666:~/etc/users/wing/procmail 117$ tail procmail.log.old

where there's some text eaten but no hanging.
