#7 xterm problem with kernel 2.6.8.1-1um

[Fermín Galán]

Parser version: 1.4.0-test-4
Root_fs_filesystem version: 0.2.1
UML kernel version: 2.6.8.1-1um
Host kernel version: 2.6.5-skas

Simulations with xterms in the virtual machines
(provided by <con0>) fails. Some xterms may hangs, no
text appear in them and they cann't disappear when
purging (-P) de simulation.

The problem can be reproduced with the tutorial.xml
file, using xterm for all the five virtual machines. It
seems that two xterms are started correctly, but the
other three hangs. It seem that the virtual machine
that start their xterms are at random.

The problems seems to affect only to 2.6.8.1-1m kernel
(maybe a problem in the 2.6? UML branch). If, using the
same .xml file and the same root_fs_tutorial (0.2.1),
to change UML kernel to 2.4.22-um leads to right xterm
behaviour.

Parece que usando un kernel 2.6.7 con el parche
host-skas-2.6.7-v1 no se cuelgan las terminales (es decir,
no se queda <defunct> el kernel 2.6.8.1-1m usando en las
