All terminal windows close

[Saurabh Barve <sa atmos colostate edu>]

Hi,

I am having a funny problem that I haven't experienced ever before. 
Whenever I try to list the contents of /usr/bin on a remote ssh 
connection, it scrolls all the files very quickly, and then it closes 
the terminal window. Not only that, all the other terminal windows on 
all my other desktops close too, even if I am not logged into any remote 
machine on them.

I am running gnome on RH 9.0 on my local machine, and different flavors of RH on 
the remote machines (RH 7.3, RHEL). When I do this locally on the other 
machine, the listing doesn't give me this problem.

I guess this might also happen on any directory with a large number of 
files like /usr/bin, but I don't have such a directory on my remote 
machine right now!

Anybody else come across something like this?

Saurabh.
