I think your bunch of zombie processes are directly responsible for
causing the sudden bunch of stuff to fill your screen. I think I remember
seeing something like this on a linux web page. You may want to do a net
search on "bunches of stuff problems under slackware".
Then again, you've already figured out the workaround, so there's no need
to fix it.
ObCoherant:
I'm considering plans for the full ascii conversion patch, and was
wondering if I should throw all player-related data in a single file for
each player. That would mean the normal player data would be joined with
the rent file, mail, aliases, and anything else I come across.
Does anyone have a preference either way? One file or many? The
single-file approach is more difficult (ie: loading the entire file just
to check the password, then resaving the whole thing just to update the
bad login count if they fail 3 times), so I won't bother if nobody cares.
