Re: FW: xemacs freezes when latexing a file
Replies directed to xemacs-beta, cygwin/x, and cygwin mailing lists. I'm not sure that cygwin/x is relevant, but that's what charli suggested so I'm leaving it in for now.

When I am in latex mode and I latex my file (C-c C-f) sometimes xemacs freezes. That Are you sure that hitting C-g several times in succession doesn't work? This sounds like a process I/O issue. Since I have seen no other reports, the only things I can suggest are (a) try using a different version of the Cygwin dll, (b) since there's a pending change to process I/O, build XEmacs from CVS checked out with -rrelease-21-4 or wait for the release of 21.4.20 (downgrading XEmacs is unlikely to help, as the last changes to the process code are fairly ancient, you'd have to go back to at least 21.4.17, released 2006-02-06), or (c) run XEmacs under gdb, elicit the freeze, get a C backtrace at the point of the freeze, and send it to xemacs-beta. FWIW the pending change to process I/O is 2006-03-23 Tony Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] * process-unix.c (unix_send_process): Reduce timeout for Faccept_process_output to 10ms. This dramatically speeds up many functions that read from processes, eg, inferior interpreter processes as in ilisp or python-mode. and the most recent released change to process I/O is 2005-02-03 David Evers [EMAIL PROTECTED] * process-unix.c (unix_send_process): Flush the last chunk, even when the pipe is blocked. If the Cygwin build actually uses the process-nt.c code, then I have no idea what's going on---that code hasn't changed since 21.4.9 in mid-2002. Charli ...and the XEmacs-news mailing list, perhaps? Please direct questions that clearly indicate a problem that could easily be an XEmacs bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yuval may also want to post to the comp.emacs.xemacs newsgroup, as somebody there may know workarounds. It is unlikely that changes in areas as delicate as process I/O will be made in haste to the 21.4 line, especially since the experts on that are currently on vacation, so (if it's our bug) you're going to need to be patient. N.B. Despite the description of xemacs-news on the XEmacs Mailing Lists home page, the mail-news gateway has never worked well, and with nearly zero traffic, xemacs-news is going to be decomissioned next week, as announced several weeks ago.

Re: FW: xemacs freezes when latexing a file
Hi, Thanks. I tested it now under cygwin and I had the same problem. That is, I did not start x and run latex directly from the cygwin window and I got the same problem. So maybe it is belong to the cygwin mailing list.
