>Description:
A data abort occurs in com_start when web browsing with Mosaic
under X11R6.1. It seems to be timing related as it only occurs
when using Mosaic. All text mode TCP applications work correctly
when running in an xterm. The stack bactrace for this problem is
as follows:
_data_abort_handler
_com_start
_pppstart
_ppp_outpkt
_pppintr
_dosoftints
This sequence is repeated several times on the stack trace.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run Mosaic under X across a PPP link after a while the X session
will appear to have hung. Switching to virtual terminal 0 after
this hang reveals the 'db>' prompt.
>Fix:
Unknown.
