This is easily explained, the shell isn't handling or ignoring SIGLOST:


% settrans -ca node ./memfile
% /bin/echo something > node
[1]    24909 resource lost  /bin/echo something > node
% settrans -ca node ./memfile
% trap 'echo oops >&2' 32
% echo something > node
something
oops
echo: write error: (ipc/mig) server died
%


(My zsh is funny, why is something printed to the terminal instead?)

This translator has the powers to kill itself, plus your shell (!) and maybe the screen session as well and maybe your sshd instance as well.

Everything is described in the attached `memfile.c'.
