Michaels response is spot-on Joe.

The failure is strictly a size thing.
And it is "tricky" to make jnos(sysop)-thru-screen function from a 
remote linux command line.
Even when the terminal size is correctly specified [everywhere?].
Further -- I don't find the restarted jnos to be correctly configured so 
it requires "start all over" work.
Remember the sysop screen has that cute 3-line header with status data 
display?
That little thingie is the root of all crashes [for size exception].

This failure can be avoided by using the GUI terminal on all the Linux 
versions I've touched.
Just DO NOT drag the terminal window to a greater/lesser size or you 
take the "dump" again.
I have not found the "lock size" switch for terminal that Michael refers 
to for putty.

Best of luck.
