If I start an external program and fork it from the shell, i.e: gvim.exe & , and then exit gvim, bash eats up the CPU until I hit return at the prompt to allow the "[1]+ Done gvim" message to print. After the message is shown, things seem to run ok, but bash does eat up the CPU until the message prints.o -Jon -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
