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!
I have often had problems where my XEmacs would not finish updating a window,
loading a file, or font-locking a buffer, until I clicked the mouse outside the
window. Today, I updated my Cygwin and Cygwin-XEmacs and the problem is about
as bad as it has ever been.
I'm just trying to load certain small text files (20-50 lines), and I'm finding
that font-locking is not completing unless I click several times back and forth
outside the window and back in the window. Even with that, it's taking 10-20
seconds to load and view these files. Normally, on my 1ghz Athlon, this goes
much faster.
Note that I'm using the "sdesk" virtual window manager on Win2k.

I've seen it in the past when I press Return on a command in a shell buffer,
and also displaying notes to read in GNUS. I just saw it again when I started
to reply to this note. The "font-locking" progress panel appeared and stayed
there for a few seconds without changing. As soon as I clicked outside of the
window, on the desktop, the progress bar filled up, the panel went away, and
the reply window appeared.

Before I do that, tell me exactly what you want me to try. The simplest test
would be for me to move all my windows to the first workspace (or dismiss
them), then exit sDesk, and try loading a file, or do you need me to reboot and
kill sDesk before I start XEmacs?

This used to happen on UNIX, its to do with the fact that XEmacs needs to
process events in order for widget updates to be visible. If it thinks
there is an event but there isn't then you see this behavior while it
blocks waiting for an event.
Before I do that, tell me exactly what you want me to try. The
simplest test
would be for me to move all my windows to the first workspace (or dismiss
them), then exit sDesk, and try loading a file, or do you need me to

I have no idea. But VWM's seem to have caused us problems in the past.
Exiting sdesk should be enough.

For what it's worth, I moved all my Windows to one workspace and killed sDesk,
and I still see the problem. I also noticed that in my clicking back and
forth, if I clicked back on the XEmacs frame by clicking on the title bar, it

spent in the font-lock progress panel.

So out of curiosity are you running any sub-processes in XEmacs (e.g. a
shell) when you see the problem, if so can you try without?
Thanks

For what it's worth, I moved all my Windows to one workspace and
killed sDesk,
and I still see the problem. I also noticed that in my clicking back and
forth, if I clicked back on the XEmacs frame by clicking on the
title bar, it

It doesn't happen all the time, but once it starts happening in a session, it
continues until I restart XEmacs.
So you're suggesting that when I start to see it happen in a session, I kill
all of my shell buffers and see if it still occurs in that session?
I also use Gnus, and I find that I sometimes see many "useless" processes
(listed in the "list-processes" buffer). The next time it occurs, I'll
check
for the presence of those processes, and any others.

Ok, it just started happening again, so I looked at my process list, which this
is an excerpt of:
------------------------

------------------------
I then went to my "*scratch*" buffer and executed '(kill-buffer "
*W3GRAPH*<73>")' 43 times, using each buffer name associated with each
"WWW"
process. At the end of this, no "WWW" processes were left, and when I tried to
load another similar file that was causing the same behavior as before, it did
not display the "halting" behavior, like it did before I deleted those buffers.
I didn't try to kill any other processes or delete any buffers associated with
any other processes.
So, it seems as if this "halting" behavior is at least indirectly connected to
these phantom network connections that Gnus opens and fails to close, for
whatever reason.

Well, I'm not certain. If the output of "list-processes" really shows all
of
your sub-processes, then I was probably still under 64. I probably had 52-53
processes. However, I'm a little uncertain exactly what entries in that list
signify. I had thought that if I execute '(kill-process
"WWW<72>")' it would
directly kill that process. However, this gives me an error indicating "no
such process" (I don't remember the exact error message). So, either the
"Proc" column doesn't represent a process name you can send to
"kill-process",
or many of those entries don't represent real processes.

I guess it would be helpful to know if its a particular type of process
that causes the problem or the number of processes or a combination of both.

Ok, next time it hits, I'll recheck the symptom after deleting each WWW buffer.
I'll also probably try deleting shell buffers one by one, checking the symptom
each time. I think I might try manually creating a large number of shell
buffers, to see if that causes it.

Ok, I was in a state where the symptom was not occurring. I recorded a
keyboard macro that created a new shell buffer, and I executed it 50 times.
This took quite a while to finish. After a while I discovered that I could get
it to finish faster by clicking out of the frame, and back in, just like with
loading files. After it finished creating the shell buffers, I had the symptom
back. I also noticed that the CPU was pegged all throughout this, after I
started to create the shell buffers.
I then went through the process of deleting a shell buffer and checking the
symptom. I did this until I got down to about 30 processes. At that point the
symptom went away (and CPU usage went down to normal). However, I then
couldn't get the symptom back by adding back more shell buffers.
I wonder if this problem has something to do with creating numerous processes
in a very short time period. Whenever I've seen this happen with the "WWW"
processes, they're all to the same URL, so they were likely from the same email
message, so those connections were probably all created at just about the same
time.

Unfortunately this probably means that the problem is buried inside of the
cygwin implementation of select().

What happens if you do
(delete-process (open-network-stream "POP" (get-buffer-create "*pop*")
mailhost 110))
Do you see the handle count go up?
