Subject: 3.95 on AIX 414

Hello:
  We put pine 3.95 up on our AIX 4.1.4 box and it intermittently
hangs when doing either a compose or a reply.  Backing off to 3.91
still works great, except for posting a bug report to cac washington,
whose robot said they wouldn't talk to us 'til we installed 3.95, 
which hangs when we compose.  Uh-oh, I'm circular...
  Anyone else 'hanging' with 3.95 and AIX 4.1.4?  Working?

  I have had reports of this too.  I called IBM support; they suggestred a
number of debugging tactics, and I asked if I would be ill-advised to
upgrade bos.rte.tty.  Tomorrow I will upgrade AIX:

	NEW				OLD
	---				---
	bos.rte.up.4.1.4.17		bos.rte.up.4.1.4.11
	bos.rte.tty.4.1.4.16		bos.rte.tty.4.1.4.4
	devices.tty.rte.4.1.4.9		devices.tty.rte.4.1.4.0

which are numerous fixes in the terminal area, and see what develops.

P.S.  I have also experienced "hangs" that were not: the screen did not
change when, for example, I pressed "C" from the folder list.  For this a
CTRL/L brought up the right screen.

P.S.  I have just read the other articles on this topic, including the one
in which a solution was found.  I have had reports of other programs than
Pine hanging too, though neither Pine nor anything else has ever hung for me.
I guess I'll continue with the AIX changes anyway, but it's good to know
there's an alternative if/when the problem does not go away.
