Lines: 23 Message-ID: <5e9m87$acb@wave.news.pipex.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: pur.uunet.pipex.com X-no-archive: yes X-Comment: Boycott Internet Spam!

Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:35650 I use trn/emacs to read & post news on my home machine, and have noticed if you hit control-g while editing it crashes, leaving the copy of emacs (and its controlling shell) hanging about in the background eating some cpu time. I traced this to the exec, and "sh -c 'emacs -nw'" then control-g does the same thing. "tcsh -c 'emacs -nw'" is fine, as is "bash -c 'emacs -nw'" The box is: FreeBSD moek 2.1.5-RELEASE Fails with emacs 19.31 and 19.34.1. Standard sh distributed with 2.1.5. Ideas ? Upgrade sh ?
