The process is active at shutdown ("Process is still active:
Exit anyway?")
No output on the console I used to run xemacs.
Shortly after exiting xemacs my machine hangs hard (not even C-A-Del).
Mauro's problems are due to the fatally poor implementation of
subprocesses on Windows95/98 and are not the fault of XEmacs in general.
A radical overhaul of parts of the Windows subprocess support is
required. I have done some work on this, but patches will have to wait
'til after 21.0.
