I don't see this behavior in Grml 2017.05-rc1/my daily build anymore, closing
hereby.

Thanks for reporting,

Hm indeed, multitail reports tons of:

| mc: *** info
| mc: Warning: closing connection
| /usr/sbin/gpm[2220]: *** warning [daemon/processconn.c(133)]: 
| /usr/sbin/gpm[2220]: Failed gpm connect attempt by uid 1000 for vc /dev/tty0

in syslog if it gets start inside GNU screen on tty4, so this needs some
attention what's going wrong here.

Folks, thank you very much for GRML.

I found today an issue in the last version 2014.03 (my first use of this version)

When I call mc from the 4. console the system becomes sluggish.

Using top I found:
- multitail running on a core at 100%
- rsyslogd running at ca 85%
- mc itself running at ca 65% and
- gpm at about 50%

This doesn't happen if I start mc on the first 3 consoles.

Terminating mc on the 4. console let multitail still running at 100% on a core, the others are gone.
The multitail process has to be killed.

Best regards
Rawi
