[Bug: 21.4.17] Xemacs and Acroread lockup issue

Dear Bug Team! hello, i've run into a scenario where i can always get Xeamcs to lockup when editing a file and adobe acrobat 7.x (acroread) is open. acroread doesn't need to have a pdf file open, only that it be open either by calling it directly or via the mozilla plugin. recreating this scenario is simple, just use the following steps. the file that i'm editing is the configure script provide with the xemacs source code. - open a terminal. - execute acroread from the terminal, i.e %> acroread & - execute xemacs from the terminal, i.e %> xemacs configure - <ctrl-space> to set mark - click and drag scroll bar down to near the bottom of file - release the mouse button any where, over text or scroll bar. - <crtl-w> to kill the region at this point xemacs will not be responsive and you will need to kill the process. i am able to recreate this behavior on a SuSE Linux 9.3 system with "XEmacs 21.5-b18 "chestnut" (+CVS-20041021) configured for `i386-suse-linux'." because of this i'm confident this is not a solaris specific issue. i can provide the SuSE installation description if necessary. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: SunOS hastur 5.8 Generic_117350-20 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R ./configure '--prefix=/opt/csw/xemacs' '--site-prefixes=/opt/csw' '--with-ldap=no' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-database=dbm' '--with-tooltalk=no' '--with-sound=nonas' XEmacs 21.4.17 "Jumbo Shrimp" configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.8'.
