Hi to all who suffer from rterm not shutting down in xemacs/ESS on windows NT or 2000.
Also hi to those who could eventually help. Here is some more information which could
help and some ENCOURAGEMENT to contribute to a solution.
1. It may be an xemacs problem but it is more likely an interaction between
rterm/comint/and xemacs. In fact, the problem started occurring around version R
1.6.0. I remember that it wasn't there in 1.5.1. It was not associated to a
simultaneous upgrade of xemacs or of the windows operating system. So, there is an R
contribution to the problem.
2. I'm also using other tools which pass through the command interpreter (I tried
running mysql and python). Also those applications can under conditions which I cannot
reproduce yet lead to "not shutting down" appropriately. So, there seems to be an
xemacs contribution.
3. Here are a few questions which may help us figure out where exactly this is going
wrong:
- does it also happen with other dialects using ESS, such as S+, SAS, ...?
- does it also happen with current gnu-emacs on a system on which it happens
with xemacs?
- has anyone succeeded to run it within a debugger? what did you learn from it?
4. Would there be an obvious person who could centralize this information?

Known problem. R-core claims its an Emacs problem. It's not an ESS
problem, but we are looking into it. Might not be solvable. We'll
see... (I'll have better access to a Windows box soon).
best,
