Description James Bowery 2011-10-18 17:29:14 CEST
Attempting to capture the scroll-back buffer to a file, I did a select all, copy and then in another terminal window, paste to a

$ cat >save.log

This then echoed back a part of the pasted buffer before freezing said terminal window in an apparently unrecoverable state, requiring that it be killed.

Unable to capture this scrollback buffer to a file, I cannot provide it as an attachment.  Moreover, although paste works in the text box here, it exceeds the size limit upon submission.

Created attachment 3903 
pasting into vi worked

I was able to paste into vi to create the attached file "xsb.log".  I believe there are two copies in the file due to two paste operations being initiated when the first did not appear to be having any effect.
