address@hidden: Re: dabbrev in minibuffer]

[Richard Stallman]

Are there any people on HPUX and Solaris that can try to debug these
problems with C-g?  The HPUX case may have been fixed by the recent
change regarding SA_RESTART; if so, it is conceivable that adding

    #define BROKEN_SA_RESTART

in the s/*.h file for Solaris might fix the problem.  Does it?

ok tried this and I can't quit on HP at all and on SUN not always.

I've taken over emacs production here in my department and I've got emacs 21.2
now running on the following 4 systems:

HP-UX-B.10.20
HP-UX-B.11.11
SunOS-5.7
SunOS-5.8

On Monday I additionally installed the CVS version, but production on
HP 10.20 and 11.11 failed (in process.c, I've sent a bug report to pretest)

The SunOS CVS version behaves exactly like 21.2. Here's what I've found out
so far (not much):

1. start emacs -q --no-site-file
2. in scratch buffer execute (while t nil)
3. C-g works
4. make a new frame (C-x 5 2)
5. in scratch buffer execute (while t nil)
6. C-g doesn't work anymore

On both HP versions emacs wont quit that while loop
