Hey folks,

    Based on a new bug report this morning, I have just discovered two
    very long-standing bugs (I think they've been around since early
    Razor2 versions).

    Bug #1229450: Console "freeze" on unknown option
        https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1229450&group_id=3978&atid=103978

    Bug #1229887: fork()ing for STDIN input when STDIN is a tty "hangs" shell
        https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1229887&group_id=3978&atid=103978

    These two bugs aren't actually related.  The first is a pretty
    simple fix and has already been addressed in CVS, however it lead
    to the discovery of the second -- since razor-* fork by default,
    and, with no options, read from STDIN by default, the default case
    can result in an unusable shell until the fork'd razor-agent is
    killed off.  See the bug for more detail.

    My question to you all is: you've never reported this before
    AFAICT, so how important do you think it is to fix this now,
    really?

    We just did a release, and right after doing a few others, so if
    it's not that important then I'd rather raise the issue as a known
    bug and let some time pass before rolling a new tarball.  I'm sure
    the distribution maintainers are a little annoyed by the short
    successions of recent releases..


Best,
