The Solaris installation I'm using still has X11R5. Assuming you meant handle_focus_event_1 (in "event-Xt.c"), I just tried commenting out all calls to it. It's still hanging and the stack trace (appended) looks the same. -lipp ps: When I try invoking "src/xemacs -batch -vanilla -f batch-byte-compile" on one of the files that it is trying to build when it hangs, XEmacs returns after a second or so without a complaint, but no ".elc" file isn't produced. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Piper [mailto:andy＠xemacs.org] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 1999 12:59 PM To: Damon Lipparelli; 'xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org' Subject: RE: 21.2-b19: hang under Solaris 2.5.1 At 09:24 AM 8/4/99 -0700, Damon Lipparelli wrote: Yes, but what - I have no idea :) Is it you using X11R5? If so can you try commenting out the handle_focus_1 changes I put in for widgets to see if that fixes anything?
