Humphrey > Kakari Systems Ltd. Aaron, Did you try running bash non-interactively with a long-running command, e.g., 'bash -c "sleep 20"'? Does that work? Does 'bash --norc -i' work? Also, if vim works, try adding the following to your .bashrc: set -o ignoreeof to eliminate the possibility of stray EOFs being sent to bash... If all else fails, there's always strace, but it will involve some effort on your part to examine it and try to figure out why bash exits.
