Hi,The Cocoa built Emacs.app fails to launch and hangs with high cpu usage when the physical memory is nearly full because of other apps and the caching on OS X Yosemite. After killing the hanging Emacs.app process and launching again, it opens without any problem. The problem happens only when launching with GUI. It never happens when running emacs in the terminal with the -nw option. I've got 2+2 GB physical ram in my Mac Book Pro 13'. There are other complaints from Mac users describing the same problem. eg. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/25003https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gnu.emacs.help/MGDN12Rf4QM
I've got the feeling that this issue is somehow related to the interplay
between the Cocoa Emacs.app startup code and the memory management in OS
X Yosemite.
Please advise!
Thanks, brgds, Imre
