poff killing X?



Hi,

OK, everyone's going to think I'm insane, but this has happened several
times. Sometimes running "poff," either from an xterm or from the window
manager menu, causes my X session to die. This has happened using either
the window manager or an xterm as session manager, so it's killing the
session somehow, not the wm in particular. I'm running a reasonably recent
hamm system; however, it also happened with the old X package. icewm, SVGA
server. It seems to happen when "pon" has failed, i.e. the modem is still
off the hook but something has prevented the connection from completing -
so perhaps pppd isn't running. 

I don't even know where to start looking for this bug. Anyone else seen
it? Any idea what possible interaction there could be between the X
session and poff? 

Thanks,

Havoc Pennington
