xemacs/vm freeze

Daniel> Sorry I cannot give much technical detail, but I have an Daniel> annoying problem. If I leave xemacs and vm (6.92) running Daniel> unattended, the programs consistently freeze. Sometimes Daniel> it happens within minutes, sometimes it takes hours. Try configuring --with-sound=noesd. ESD does evil things with interrupts that often result in such "random" crashes. Daniel> I also notice that sometimes even if I run vm-save-folder Daniel> as the last thing I do, there is still a more recent Daniel> autosave file with vm (which is the file as it was before Daniel> vm-save-folder). If you have a large folder, VM tries to postpone long-running activity until XEmacs is idle (eg, revising summaries that aren't displayed in the header). So this is a feature. Try a diff on the saved folder and the autosave file. You should see changes in the VM housekeeping information (and possibly in ISO-2022 escape sequences, which end up with doubled ESC charaacters for some reason). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
