From: Arthur Bergman Date: 10:50 on 14 Aug 2003 Subject: Terminal.app round inf It is amazing, freakishly so, that one of the (should be) core utilities of MacOS X is so fucking unreliable. Or is it the underlying nextismic cocoa libraries that create the problem? Whenever my computer seems to have a lot of swapping to do, or I resize a big window, it fucking crashes on me. Having usually 20 terminals or so open it is a huge delay until I am up to speed again. So wonderful hardware, unreliable piece of shit software.

I use xterms running under X11. Seems to work fine for me. YMMV. Mark.

Seems to work fine for me. YMMV. Apples X beta 3 has taken to crashing on me at random intervals. I use iTerm, which isn't awful.

I used it to tail some log files for a couple of days and it was consuming close to a GB of memory. No thank you very much. The author didn't think it was a problem, because Netscape uses a lot of memory too sometimes! - ask

I was running Xemacs and GNUS, which is no slouch when it comes to eating memory itself. > The author didn't think it was a problem, because Netscape uses a lot > of memory too sometimes! Oh, that's all right then.
