Thanks very much to John (& Marty) to further
characterize the problem. Yes, the CR/LF stream is
when the squealing starts. And yes, if I just show 15
spots (sh/d/15) it seems to avoid the hangup. Appears
like a usable work around (if I don't get disconnected
during a rest break and want to repopulate the
bandmap, that is).
Really appreciate the help from the reflector!
Tnx & 73,
