Hi,

I build (tethereal_static) the tethereal in RH 7.2 and I'm having problems in putting monitoring to backround job:

 (
  tethereal -v
  tethereal 0.9.4, with GLib 1.2.10, with libpcap 0.6, with libz 1.1.3, without UCD SNMP
  uname -a
  Linux box.com 2.4.7-10enterprise #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 16:48:20 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
  bash -version
  GNU bash, version 2.05.8(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)
 )


[jihuu@box jihuu]$ tethereal -i eth0 -R giop &
[1] 23033
[jihuu@box jihuu]$ Capturing on eth0
 
 ( *** this goes to backround just fine... )
 
 
[jihuu@box jihuu]$ tethereal -i eth0 -R giop -w test.bin &
[2] 23045
[jihuu@box jihuu]$ Capturing on eth0
92  

( *** the number of packets roll constantly in screen but the process is in backround, the shell prompt is mixed up )


[jihuu@box jihuu]$ tethereal -i eth0 -R tcp &
box jihuu]$ Capturing on eth0
  0.000000 trdhcp104192.com -> box.com TCP 4390 > telnet [ACK] Seq=76852277 Ack=985911446 Win=7986 Len=0
  0.000000 box.com -> trdhcp104192.com TELNET Telnet Data ...
  aso...

( *** does not go to backround, can't write anything to shell, cant stop the monitoring )


Does anyone have the same problem/cure for this?
