A strange error of sorts.

Hola!,

While I was compiling PGP2.6.2 w. GCC I came across an interesting bug on
one of GCC or Linux.

I returned to my computer to see on the screen about 10 rows of multi
coloured flashing ASCII characters. Some were reversed, some were
flashing, some were symbols. It in no way interfeared with the compiling
of PGP and scroled up the screen as the compiler went on. The closest
thing I could compair it to is what a CPU would show if it recieved a
mild static shock.

My guess it it has something to do with the display drivers. Perhaps it
is not the kernels fault. I have since had no trouble and would not be
able to reproduce the display for all the RAM at Microsoft :)
