devc-ditto and pidin fd  
It seems there is a problem with "pidin fd" and devc-ditto.

I mount several /dev/conX consoles with ditto, and afterwards I issue "pidin fd | less". In less output I try to find 
some information via less search ("/"). Very often less gets unresponsive.

I have found with other pidin command, that "pidin fd" is reply blocked on devc-ditto.

Is this problem known, or is there any workaround?

Regards, PKY

I tried this but couldn't reproduce it.  Are any more detailed steps
required?

This seems to reproduce it here:

devc-ditto &
mount -Tditto /dev/ptyqf (*)
umount /dev/ptyqf.ditto (*)
mount -Tditto /dev/ttyqf
on -t /dev/ttyqf ls -lR
pidin fd | less

lines marked with (*) are not needed all the time, but sometimes without them mount of /dev/ttyqf -T ditto never returns
