Richard,


  This is still happening wierder than ever.   I don't know what to do. 
 It is seemingly
random, and I can at least open terms now, however, what I have to do it 
start so many
in rapid succession that X & KDE bog down, and after 5 or 10 seconds 
about 15
will start to open, maybe four or five will survive, the rest will 
report 'unable to
open slave pty .....'

   What can I do?   Do I try a re-install? [I suspect the sames results 
in the end, but am
willing to try].   .......  Maybe I will drop back to kernel 2.4.3, and see.


thanks,
  joshua
