I just discovered that the sh/ann command will dork-up the usr_req
process. At least it does it like clock-work on my installation. I
don't know if something is wrong with my database, the last five
announcements are shown and then you never get the prompt back.

This was tried a couple of times from the term_usr login at the console.
It takes the usr_req process right down from some reason.... after you
issue a 'sh/ann' and then do a 'clx -c' at the linux prompt. 'clx -c'
comes back with:

Shared Memory manager clx_ctl: rc = OK
Internal Communications Manager int_com: rc = OK
Transmit Spooler snd_ctl: rc = OK
User Administration usr_ctl: rc = OK
Inter-User communication iu_com: rc = OK
Inter-Node communication icl_com: rc = OK
User Database Interface usr_req: rc = NOT OK
User Data Table Manager udt_mng: rc = OK
Mailbox Controller mb_ctl: rc = OK
User Commands Manager usc_mng: rc = OK
User Dialog manager usr_dlg: rc = OK
Received messages Dispatcher rm_disp: rc = OK
Received messages Spooler rcv_ctl: rc = OK
AX.25 interface con_ctl: rc = OK

I tried this a couple of times... restarted CLX and then after one
sh/ann, you couldn't get the prompt back. I ran clx -c to see the
status and the usr_req was dorked up again.

Is there a way to disable this command, or until I find out what the
problem is?
