RE: XEmacs occasionally hangs on Windows XP

-----Original Message----- From: xemacs-beta-admin(a)xemacs.org [mailto:xemacs-beta-admin＠xemacs.org]On Behalf Of Jeppe N. Madsen Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 2:21 AM To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: XEmacs occasionally hangs on Windows XP 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! I sometimes experience that xemacs hangs. I can't really reproduce it but it mostly happens when I'm running Gnus (which probably accounts for a large percentage of my total xemacs usage): I see two things: 1) When Gnus is done showing the summary buffer with many entries, it just hangs and it's not possible to move the cursor. Menus seem to be responding although they don't execute any commands. It's sometimes possible to leave this state by minimizing the xemacs windows or using the scrollbars. 2) Today, when composing a message, xemacs just hung. All UI updates where suspended (i.e. xemacs windows did not redraw). Only resort was to kill xemacs. Has anybody else experienced this? Is it a known problem? I'll try to watch the issues more closely, are there specific steps one can use to get more infor in this situtation? btw, Running this on WinXP Pro rgds Jeppe ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TSUNAMI 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-dragndrop' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-x=no' '--bindir=/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-netinstall' XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter (Windows [2])" configured for `i686-pc-cygwin'.
