yum list updates removes all terminal windows

[Darlene Wallach]

When I run "yum list updates" all terminal windows I have open
get removed so I do not see the list of updates. I have also
had my system lock up with the monitor going black - and had
to unplug to boot my computer.

I ran "yum clean all" and do not get a different outcome.

# uname -a
Linux FreePalestine 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 i686 
i386 GNU/Linux

I'm running FC3.

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you for your attention,

Darlene
