With this snapshot in NT 3.51 I occasionally get a pause after which
the message "proc_terminate: WFSO(hwait_subproc) timed out" is
displayed. This happens with a repetitive null command (hold the
ENTER button down). Most often the repetitive ENTER will "freeze" the
window and will not break so I must kill the process.
I rebuilt the snapshot with no optimization switch. I still get the
afore mentioned error but haven't been able to get it to "freeze".
Overall though. Seems good. I'll try to get to testing it on 95 osr1
this weekend but no promises. Let me know if you need an STRACE.
