The recent discussion reminded me of an issue I hadn't reported, yet. Not sure when, but recent versions of tlf using plain vanilla Debian stable fail to return to tlf after a ':edit'. It does take me out to the editor, but when I exit the editor, it give me the following error message as it crashes out:
tlf: background_process.c:88: start_background_process: Assertion `stop_backgrnd_process == 1' failed. It was not and is not a high priority for me, as I just start up tlf again. It's fairly infrequent I need to go back to the log and correct something after I've logged it. If I had to do it every 10 QSOs, then, yes, it would be more of a hassle. I haven't submitted a ticket to the issue tracker; I can if you would like. I also haven't dug in to try to debug, either, because, again, it hasn't been a big problem. I didn't work a huge number of QSOs, but tlf did great for me, as always, with the recent ARRL SS CW contest. Best regards, Drew Arnett n7da
