Re: [Bug: 21.4.20] Killing a large number of characters in shell mode hangs xemacs
Ar an triú lá de mí Lúnasa, scríobh lkashley(a)rockwellcollins.com:
When deleting a large number (200,000 ish) of characters from a
shell
window Xemacs hangs. I am using shell-mode in xemacs-base 2.10. I've
not experienced this problem with prior versions of xemacs/lisp.
Set mark at end of buffer. Move to top of buffer. Ctrl-W.
prstat shows Xemacs running 23% cpu. It (the xemacs) has been hung for
quite some time.

xemacs-21.4.20/1
Any thoughts on how to tackle this would be appreciated.
Attach to the process with gdb, then type bt to get an idea what the C code
is doing. It sounds like the interaction with X11 is going wrong; there was
a previous problem with incremental selection transfer which would provoke a
hang like this, but that should have been fixed in 21.4.20. Maybe it
uncovered another bug.
