RunCPM won't exit, spams carriage returns.

Hi! Sorry for spamming up your issues with this, but I wasn't sure where else to ask.

When I try to use any CCP other than the built-in one, RunCPM does not exit correctly upon invocation of the EXIT command, and has to be killed manually from another terminal.

Using the DR CCP, it switches to P drive and subsequent invocations of EXIT behave as if the EXIT command is undefined.

Using ZCPR2 or ZCPR3, it spams carriage returns to the terminal until manually killed from another terminal.

Internal CCP behaves as expected.

I have not tried any of the other CCPs.

All binaries were built with "make posix rebuild" after editing globals.h. System is an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 running Devuan Linux (it's basically just Debian with systemd patched out, running sysvinit instead), current stable release. Window manager is the Notion tiling WM, and the terminal program is cool-retro-term. CPM directory structure is a slightly modified version of the one you distribute on google drive (I moved your A and B drives to P and Q and set up my own A and B, retaining your A0; then later moved P and Q out of the way to see if that was what was causing this odd behavior and haven't restored them yet).

Is this the expected behavior? Is there any work-around other than manually killing the process from another terminal?

Thanks!

Hi there ... I have just tried on CRT under Linux Ubuntu. Worked fine.
The expected behavior is as below:

Result should be the same regardless of the CCP. I have tried with DR, ZCPR2 and ZCPR3 (and with the internal CCP).
Maybe it happens after you run some program on RunCPM which leaves it in a strange state?

Please share as much info as possible.
If you could send like step by step, from the moment you do 'make posix rebuild' so I could replicate the same steps here.

Maybe also do another git pull on a different folder and use 'meld' to compare the fresh pulled source with yours. Maybe there's some hidden different you might be missing.
I would be happy to test with your source folder also if you wish to send it over.

Don´t worry, we will fix it.
