Description ivan 2010-06-03 22:05:21 UTC

There have been two variations on this:

1) Users remote shell initialization emits some error, like "/bin/arch: not found"
   dbx's connection fails with a "timed out" message.

This was "fixed" by making dbx startup not go via a shell wrapper (see
ExecutorUnix), but then ...

2) Similar error messages but this time originating from .dbxrc.
   In this case the GUI hangs!

Comment 1 ivan 2010-08-12 22:55:05 UTC

dbxgui has an "algorithm" to detect that it's talking to an older dbx (from
pre master/slave) days that depends on detecting error messages from
dbx. These additional messages confuse the algorithm.
