... so please don't say it did not occur. DEC acknowledges the problem
occurs, and that one of the problems is a design flaw in the scheduler which
causes lousy response time for small interactive jobs or commands (such
as ls) but which makes the 5820 a great machine for batch. Too bad. Should
have gotten an IBM.

Response to all the information I gave was "next release".

Yeah mine too, with automatic aknowledgment, and the possibility to consult
an online database of bug reports

What about some responses from people at DEC who KNOW what's happening?
