Re: ediff eating handles

Sean> While using ediff to diff a lot of files, it would always lock up with Sean> "Resource busy" error. It looks like every time you use the 'A' or 'B' With emacs-version "21.0 \"Uzbek Black-pre2\" XEmacs Lucid" on Windows NT I have the problem that I cannot jump to more than 32 individual diffs between two buffers (ediff-buffers). The message-log below shows that I can basically get to all of the diffs but after visiting 32 of them XEmacs cannot spawn processes anymore. How does that fit into the picture? Which emacs-version are you running, on which OS? Cheers, Adrian Computing differences between texinfmt.elHDA1Gc and texinfmt.elHDA68f ...
