I have a program that printf's 64 lines of output data.
This program runs fine on my DU4.0A system.
It also runs fine on telnet to a DU4.0C system.
However, if I rlogin to the same DU4.0C system and run the program,
output halts after about 20 lines of output, and the prompt is then
printed in the middle of an output line. i.e, the output is truncated.
After much investigation, we determined that I was setting
the DEC-specific 'editmode=emacs' in .cshrc. If I unset
this the program prints all 64 lines normally.
What is it about rlogin vs. telnet and how does it relate
to the editmode setting? BTW: editmode=vi exhibits the
same broken behavior...
