Weird terminal behavior 5.1-Release

Sun Jul 27 21:47:08 PDT 2003

Hello

After working at a terminal for awhile (long enough that the scroll bar 
becomes really small), xterm and rxvt  (I am not sure if it problem occurs at 
the council) begins to act strangely, I cannot su another user and when I try 
to use a program that uses standard input (cin) the program  runs without 
waiting for the user input. 

I have included a copy of my dmesg output. It contains some ACPI error I do 
not know if that is related or not.  Any ideas?

Thank you
Aaron
