From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.2; InfoPath.1) Description of problem: Good.. Using Secure shell Telnet to login I was updating my httpd.cf file I created a fresh file with VI pasted in the contents i had modified locally on my machine ( Also tried this with NANO) gets to about 6 pages worth of text pasted in and the Telnet session hangs then the whole network on the FC5 machine will stop responding since this has only happened from remote my only choice was to get someone to reboot the machine .. Logs show no error or problem it just simply stops responding to the network nothing can be reached from the outside world and locally the machine cannot talk to anything else on the network. This is repeatable getting the same result everytime i do this. Ended up having to copy 3 pages of text at a time max to stop the server crashing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): telnet-0.17-35.2.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Connect to Secure Telnet session remotely 2.Copy about 10 - 20 pages of Text from anything be it wordpad or a txt file 3.Create a file with VI or NANO and paste in the 10 - 20 pages Telnet session will hang followed by machine goign dead in the water. Machine is still usable locally but kills ALL NETWORK activity Actual Results: Network crashed on FC5 Expected Results: Pasted in 10 pages text and saved file Additional info:
