Hi Pete!

I cannot reproduce the error, but I'm using fvwm. Can you give a step-bystep
instruction to reproduce the error?

Hello Nik, thanks for looking at this for me - I havent yet found a reliable way
to reproduce it unfortunately. It seems to happen on wiindows where I have
run 'vi' or where I have logged in to another machine on ssh, but then
thats mainly what I do in my wondows, so its hardly surprising ;-(

Is there anything I can do to investiagett eh status of the stuck processes.
I have managed to get 4 in the last hour here.
