[1] i just reenabled BROKEN_SIGIO on cygwin and checked it in. [testing revealed no lockups; last reported lockups were b21, which was ages ago.] [2] "critical quit" C-Sh-g is supposed to break out of all loops, even those where inhibit-quit is set; furthermore, it should give you an immediate backtrace in all circumstances. [it's possible that someone broke this on unix. it was broken on windows until very recently. can someone please verify whether it works on unix?] [3] if you can, please update to the latest xemacs 21.5 cvs on cygwin, and check whether C-g works for you by typing (while t) in a scratch buffer, hitting C-j, then C-g and/or C-Sh-g. > --- > Paul Stodghill > Dept. of Computer Science, Upson Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853 > Phone: 607-254-8838 FAX: 607-255-4428 > http://www.cs.cornell.edu/stodghil/ -- ben I'm sometimes slow in getting around to reading my mail, so if you want to reach me faster, call 520-661-6661.
