Re: when ssh dies, xemacs doesn't

Rick> the should-be-dead XEmacs Why _should_ it be dead? We go to a lot of trouble to ensure that loss of a display connection doesn't kill XEmacs; to ensure that other processes can connect to a running XEmacs as a server; and even provide a way that a server XEmacs can be embedded via a client widget in another process. Yeah, I know, "principle of least astonishment": other editors die when the console goes away, XEmacs should seppuku too. Sometimes I wish raising up more robust users was an option. ;-) The 100% CPU problem is a bug no matter how you look at it, and fixing that bug seems to guarantee that XEmacs will die when the last console device connection goes away.
