Yep, I know of this problem, but it doesn't happen all the time and
I haven't yet figured out exactly when it happens and when it doesn't.
But I think that this problem doesn't exist when you run minicom with
the -l option (and have a font with PC graphic characters...)

I'll look at the source and see what I can find...

I haven't noticed this problem at all, exept when running rz/sz (don't
remember which)... it gets a signal 10 when rz/sz is finished and exits..

Does it just get the signal without you doing anything special, or is
it when you do some specific things?

If i get the time I'll look at it... (but you'll have to be the
beta tester as i don't have the problem myself :) )
