Losing dedicated server console output (0.2.8 on mac)

I've set up a 0.2.8 server on my mac, and everything runs fine. However, after a little while, the console in my terminal window stops outputting. It still accepts inputs, but doesn't display any results.

Restarting server fixes the problem... for a while. Then at some point I lose outputs again.

Any ideas?

Sounds similar to the problems I had on bugfarm. I always blamed them on screen. Does your server run in screen?

Not yet... just a standard x-term now.

Just because I blamed it on sreen doesn't mean it was screen

But my recordings always played back with full output even if the original output was swallowed. I'm clueless, then. We're just throwing stuff out to std::cout, that shouldn't be problematic.

More info...

I've had the server up for hours since the last restart and the output is fine. Difference is that this time I haven't been entering many commands. Before, while I was tweaking, I was entering lots of commands and getting lots of response outputs before it broke.

Let me see if I can break it:

Yep, piece of cake. I simply entered "CYCLE" so that it would list appropriate commands. Output died right after CYCLE_ACCEL_SLINGSHOT (without a description). Output is now totally broken until server restart.

Hmm, that doesn't happen for me when I do it, but on my tournament server, the output of the command list does get truncated sometimes. I suppose tracking that down and fixing it will also solve your problem. I'll add a bug entry.
