Re: Very annoying hanging problem..... at Oct 6, 99 08:35:01 am

Even though I am a newbie, I would like to say I had the same thing happen and
it was due to a garbage character at the end of a file.  I was at work, edited
something in windoze rather than linux, ftp'd rebooted and froze.  Then I
decided to just go in and use vi and saw the garbage....

For what's it worth....
