Actually, it could have been a fork bomb or something similar.
Something was running Grex out of resources so that it couldn't do
ordinary forks. Grex's defenses against fork bombs will generally
terminate them pretty quickly, but there may be a brief period in which
you'll see problems like this before the system sets itself right
again. Grex has two layers of fork bomb defenses - the kernel blocks
will kill the more aggressive fork bombs pretty quickly - probably
within ten seconds. Robocop responds more slowly, possibly taking as
long as 8 minutes, but kills more categories of annoying programs,
including memory bombs.

Do we know why the network goes away every now and again? traceroutes tend
to end at rback0.flnt.mi.voyager.net.

Grex has been yo-yoing on and off the net. You can sort of see the
interrupts if you look at the party log.

Grex doesn't have money enough.
It's a non-profit organization and is essentially run by volunteers.
That isn't really conducive to bleeding-edge technology.

This may have been reported already, but if you do a finger, you'll see four
sessions reporting idle time in days.

I built my own control window which provides some additional
functionality and ease-of-use to backtalk. I know it's easier to
complain, but if you really try, you might be able to figure out
something similar.

The implementation of ssh here has some problem passing on vars.
Or, maybe, it doesn't like you.

We *still* have a modem with defective flow control, which disconnects
when an application (like sz) dumps more data than its buffer can handle
instead of dealing with it more gracefully.

I fixed it at my end by dialing 761-5041, which always works for me when doing
fast downloads. 761-3000 almost never works unless grex is really clogged.
I hope some day someone can get around to removing the first modem in the
queue. I also wonder if there is any progress on the 28.8K modems. I had
to use grex to download a pdf file (a large one) just now after not being able
to connect to my ISP with lynx for DOS all day (other browers work but the
one I use tends to dump pdf files which are large, after trying to read them).
