Whenver I exit the shell when I'm in rxvt, aterm, or even Eterm, the terminal emulator stays on for several more seconds and goes up to 100% CPU usage. This effect if very sporadic. It usually only happens when I do something within the terminal. Also, this doesn't happen in plain old xterm. I think it's kernel related because I'm running 2.5.68-mm1 and I noticed this behavior on 2.5.67, but not on the 2.4 kernels. If it helps, I did an strace and when it freezes I get this message
Code:
read(4, 0x804ab08, 8192)                = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
ioctl(3, 0x541b, [0])                   = 0

repeated many times. On starting rxvt, strace gives this
Code:
close(6)                                = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
close(7)                                = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
...
going all the way until
Code:
close(1023)                             = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)

Anyone have any ideas?

Only bump I'm going to do, and only because it's off the front page.
