Subject: kvt bug

I encountered a bug with kvt in the stock CS 1.1 distribution. I was able
to duplicate it with two other distributions, but didn't find anything of
interest on my first scan though Deja and and KDE archives. So I figured I
would check to see if anyone here knows anything about it before I start
digging deeper.
If you try to paste a large amount of text into anything running in a kvt
terminal (vi, pico, etc.) or directly to the terminal, kvt will appear to
freeze up. If you do a ps ax you can see that the terminal in question
is just spinning its wheels eating up CPU time. The same pastes can be
done using a generic xterm with no problems.
Btw, if you try this, purposely or accidentally, make sure you manually
kill the process before you log out. If you don't, it locks X/kdm and
you have to three finger salute your way out of X.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or heard anything about it?
Jim
