prerequisities: 2.4.7-vanille
Recently (i cant recall when), i realised, that
some _different_ applications (like mikmod or something)
are losing tty. I start these apps like that:
mikmod <random stuff skipped> > /dev/ttyXX 2>/dev/ttyXX < /dev/ttyXX & and after some period of time, they loses the
tty, but this is not a 100% probability.

I think it is relevant only for 2.4.7 in my situation...

Samium did not elaborate what he means under "loses the tty", but perhaps I can report something related.

Sometimes (not very often), after I do "ssh somehost", the resulting bash runs without a some controlling terminal function. Running "cat" from that shell (on somehost) yields a cat that cannot be interrupted with a signal from keyboard. ^D works. "stty -a" shows isig set. tty shows PTY slave correctly.

This is related to 2.4.7 and SMP, I think.
