Hello,
I have a unusual problem with putty connecting to several of my
virtual servers. It is so strange, I tried STFW with the symptoms but
I can't find anything informative.
The client is a Windows 7 64-bit professional. The servers are:
* Fedora 14 beta
* Centos 5.4 fully patched
* 3x Debian Squeeze/Testing (fully up-to-date)
When SSH-ing into the Centos and one of the Debian boxes I can use
all the programs without any problem. When SSH-ing into the Fedora
and two of the Debian boxes, I can run programs like 'ls' and 'cat'
that write small amounts of text to stdout, but if I start 'vim' or
'screen', I just get a blank screen. Connecting again from a
different machine and running an 'echo "t" > /proc/sysrq-trigger'
I get this backtrace for the vim process:

But why would this happen with only two machines and not with the
other two? All the Debian servers are virtual machines hosted on
the Fedora box. They were installed from the same netinst iso and
updated just yesterday.
If I SSH into the Centos box and from there I SSH into any other box
(including the two troublesome Debian boxes) everything works fine as
expected.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
florin
