I just noticed when connected remote via the com ports that if I did a scroll
lock everything in the system would be halted. I was using screen and was
compiling in another virtual terminal.

This must surely be a bug, right? Or is it a feature?

PS!
  Even though the scheduler keeps giving processes negative priority I haven't
experienced one lost character yet when doing the heavy stuff in the 
background. (in 2400bps) Although zmodem downloads seems to be asking to much
really of the system. Many thanks to those who fixed the coms drivers!
