Yes. It's not a debian specific problem. It happens with RH also. But I don't think
that's a kernel problem anyway. It happens on absolutely different machines
with different kernels and different hardware. The terminals are using Kernel
2.4.13 this time, and were running on 2.2.17 about 1,5 years ago. I don't think
that this is the problem.
