Hi, > It appears to be the kernel from my old distro who's producing the error. > I run 2.4.30, and it doesn't support "WCONTINUED". I'm still confused.

(ash) - Did you try something else like 'tcsh' or 'zsh' ? Same problem? -- We're working on it, slowly but surely...or not-so-surely in the spots we're not so sure... -- Larry Wall
