- 2.03 was the last Amiga Unix release put out before the number of
- people in the Amiga Unix group dropped to zero. I was technically
- the last one, and I did leave, no quotes.

- The serial driver may occaisionally put out stream control packets
- as data. The effect is a burst of garbage followed by a hung port or
- device on ioctl's (often fixable by sending a break). So if you use ksh
- with editing, you may see this if you're on a serial port, since it's
- switching back and forth bewtween raw and cooked mode a lot. You may
- also see it during such transitions in programs such as elm or vi.
