- I've been getting this on my MIPS/OSF system too. Press
- sursor up and try again - I'm not completely sure what causes it,
- it would appear to be random, but occasionally it happens a few
- times in a row. I patched tcsh when this error occurs to retry it
- twice immediatly, only returning the error if all three failed,
- but that didn't seem to help an awful lot. I took it out again as
- it was a grotty hack.
- My suggestion is this - get something to do a fork()
- elsewhere in the system (do an "ls" in another window), then hit
- cursor up and try again. This always seems to work. Alternativly,
- just keep hitting cursor up/return until it works.
- If this is happening all the time rather than just on
- odd occasions, though, something's just got a bit more broken
- than it was before. SPR it.
