Rohn,

Have you upgraded to Pine 3.96?  If so, do you still see the hangs?

Thanks for the report!

Dave,
   Sorry to be so long on this.  Yes, we are still seeing hangups on 3.96,
although the number of people using the software that is prone to this
(PC-KERMIT) is dwindling, so complaints have tailed off -- I think most of
the complaining users are still using Pine 3.93, which does not have the
problem.  I can also simulate the problem under Digital UNIX by using
7-bit vt300 mode on a dxterm (I am away from my office as I write this, so
it might be 8-bit mode --- I will verify when I get back to campus).

Thanks for your attention to this matter.
