Ummm that is a bummer to troubleshoot.
At work I am on Pentium 1.5 GHz with 512 MB RDRAM, Win2K, SP1
and at home I am on PIII 1 GHz with 512 MB RDRAM. Win2K SP1
I never notice it, whenever i type
exit, the xterm. mxterm and rxvt windows closed immediately. One of these
day I will try to find why it does on some others machine.
