The connect script uses cinternet, smpppd, to talk to my telephone modem through /dev/rfcomm0 Works usually fine. When the bluetooth connection cannot be establised, (too far away, phone switched off, ...) the system freezes until the open() syscall times out. I can reproduce with a simple strace dd if=/dev/rfcomm0 .. open("/dev/rfcomm0", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EHOSTDOWN (Host is down) .. While the process hangs in open, I can move the mouse. As soon as I type anything, the system freezes. No mouse movement, the typed characters are lost. The system resumes normal operation, as soon as the open call returns. In 11.3 such freezes were not encountered. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
