If I'm in psql (via putty, from WinXP to Redhat) and hit F1-4 (F5+ just display a ~), psql will segmentation fault and exit. Not that I'm in the habit of entering function keys while in psql - I accidentally hit one while entering numbers (lost a fair amount of history). I just tried it using WinXP's command prompt and none of the function keys cause psql to segfault. CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
