In an xterm running tcsh, I mounted a DOS floppy using: sudo mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /a The floppy mounted. I was able to ls the root directory. No problems so far. Then in my shell I started typing a command to copy a file off the floppy: cp -p /a/ At this point I hit Ctrl^D to get a directory listing of the available matching files (bound to the tcsh delete-char-or-list-or-eof function in tcsh, as is standard; type "bindkeys" to check). The machine completely froze. The X mouse cursor was dead. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace would not quit X. Ctrl-Alt-Del would not reboot the machine. Attempts to switch VTYs were ignored. No response for anything I tried. I hard-booted and (after much fsck'ing) checked the 3.4 errata.html file on freebsd.org, and then sent this PR. Fix: Unknown. How-To-Repeat: Perform the above action and see if it happens for you. I'm hesitant to try tcsh matching files list on a floppy again right now (I need to get a full backup made).
