RE: "Forked child base mismatch" using MKS Toolkit shell

-----Original Message----- From: xemacs-beta-admin(a)xemacs.org [mailto:xemacs-beta-admin＠xemacs.org]On Behalf Of Erik Ostrom Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 6:42 PM To: 'xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org' Subject: "Forked child base mismatch" using MKS Toolkit shell 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! When I start up XEmacs and run M-x shell, I get this line: Forked child base mismatch: 2000000 1000000! three times, then no prompt, and nothing happens when I type commands. I'm using the MKS Toolkit shell (ksh). This sounds like a problem reported previously (in http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-nt/199910/msg00107.html), and fixed in XEmacs 21.1.9 (http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.1.9.html), and, indeed, I don't have this problem with 21.1.9. But I do with 21.4.8.
