Thanks for the ideas. I hadn't come across the virtual buttons. I think I'll look at what processes are running by the time it tries to mount /home, and which of them might involve looping on that timescale. Then, when it happens again, I'll try a remote login to see if I can catch some process at it. It hasn't yet happened (on the three occasions) at an opportune time for me to investigate. I agree, the first character is probably a NUL. The second is probably CR. Both can be used to terminate strings in different situations. Or perhaps my termcap has fallen into a 1960s wormhole: anyone remember WRU, and the Here Is key, … Cheers, David.
