Subject: Doing fork: Bad file number
--text follows this line--
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
This is probably a misconfiguration on my part but I search the
FAQ and could not find any help.
When I try to do almost anything I am getting the error message
Doing fork: Bad file number.
I have been using Xemacs on Unix for the past 5 years and just
recently got around to installing it on my PC. When I try to
do a C-x C-d to list the directory I get the error. When I try
to update the package list I get the error. Any idea what I am
doing wrong.
I also copied this message and sent it through netscape since I
was getting a different error when I would try to send it
through Xemacs.
Thanks
