>Description:
The shell gives tcsetpgrp errors after doing some work. I've been
checking and it seems fairly random. An example of the problem:
I'm in X-Window and open a xterm with /bin/sh:
/home/juli$ vim .Xresources
/home/juli$ xrdb .Xresources
/home/juli$ vim .Xresources
tcsetpgrp failed, errno=25
tcsetpgrp failed, errno=25
All subsequent commands fail miserably like this. I've been
talking with other people and the problem seems to arise also with
csh. Although, I used zsh for several weeks before and never
encountered this problem.
To solve the problem (temporary) I have to close and reopen the
xterm. After that, everything works fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
As stated, the problem seems to be fairly random and it's hard to
reproduce. I've tried repeating the same work session as exposed
above, with no errors.
