I whould expect tty1 to hang, but echo to work (just print that later) or at least be *interruptable* - i.e. w/ ^C/^Z/kill. BTW, echo is on different tty - I think that's clean.(How would I press enter for echo if I already pressed ScrollLock? ;-) Oh yeah, one good way it to make 99.99 load & press enter & hit ScrollLock *really* fast before it will output "test" and then post stupid question to maillist ;-) )
