As a matter of fact it seems none of the keyboard input is being =
recognized
by iftop...  I reinstalled my server to openbsd 3.3-stable, and =
installed
iftop, and when running it from ssh session or from the console, it =
never
accepts keyboard input, even a kill command ?

I will try the patch


Oh and by the way yes openbsd does run under vmware... in fact the =
openbsd
system I am testing iftop on is running under vmware GSX server on a =
gentoo
linux host.

I'm not ignoring this, I just don't know the answer :-(

After you press "q" does it keep on running to the extent that you can
still press keys and have them do stuff?

My guess is that it's a difference in the handling of threads (is that
vague enough?), and the stuff that makes is quit is <blame-torch
action=3D"pass">stuff that Chris wrote</blame-torch>
