well top exit anyway but it seems not to release the console cleanly (the kde konsole always cry's after start top, end it and close the konsole)
Created attachment 83745 [details] top free patch this patch should fix the problem works fine for me =)
that first hunk is bogus for sure can you describe your problem more ? i dont really know what you mean by "doesnt exit clean"
hm.. cant reproduize it anymore maybe it was an bash bug/konsole bug well I was thinking about it again and it looks like I get it wrong (beside I wonder that it doesnt crash with with patch) sorry for bothering you =/
