Hi,

When I try to run links on my serial terminal, it keeps popping
up the bookmark manager.  When I close it, it is reopened again
immediately.  Links is totally unusable on my terminal for this
reason.

When run in an xterm, this problem does not occur.

The TERM setting is vt100, though I've tried vt320 and screen.
With no luck so far, alas.

Cheers,

Joost

Could you provide any details? I cannot reproduce the problem.

What is your shell environment? have you tried to change the
Setup->Terminal Options? Does your links.cfg contains a
'terminal' line matching your terminal type?

Try to change the three number in the 'terminal' line to zero,
or '1'. (Start with 0 0 0.) Any changes?

Links does *not* use ncurses but its own screen handling, so
it is possible that an irregular terminal makes it barf...

Hi,

I checked the list of bugs that I have submitted in the past
and I see that this one is still open.  I see that you have in
fact sent me a message, which must have slipped my attention
somehow, because I don't remember receiving it (you must surely
have sent it though).  My apologies.

The situation is that I haven't used the terminal for a while
and it is currently not connected to any host at all.  I do use
links regularly and have noticed many improvements since this
bug was first submitted.

ldd `which links` now lists libncurses linkage, so I would guess
that this particular problem might well be fixed by now.

As soon as I get a chance to work on the terminal again, I'll
test links and report back to this bug.

Cheers,


Joost

PS: I found some other problem with links and cookies which
causes links to segfault, though it doesn't look like anything
sploitable.  I have a patchlet which at least fixes the crashing
but which needs some more looking at.  I will submit a bug about
this in some time.

Thanks for the feedback, and your future patch.

regards,
peter
