Package: emacs Version: 1:26.1+1-3.2 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
the command "emacs FILENAME", with extended characters in FILENAME, causes the X-server to crash immediately. xdm.log contains: Sun Mar 17 01:43:04 2019 xdm info (pid 7547): sourcing /etc/X11/xdm/Xreset XIO: fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server ":0" after 19 requests (13 known processed) with 0 events remaining. (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. To reproduce, type "emacs $(echo -e \\xE4)" in an X-terminal. This does not happen in the console. Also, if emacs --daemon is running," emacsclient -c FILENAME" works fine. I put Severity:grave, because of the potential data loss. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.0.2-00092-ge9de71fc75e3 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1), LANGUAGE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages emacs depends on: ii emacs-gtk 1:26.1+1-3.2 emacs recommends no packages. emacs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
