Dear Mike,
I discovered another problem with XEmacs in connection with AUCTeX under
Suse 9.3, which I will describe below.
A detailed system info for my XEmacs instalation follows at the end of this
email.
The current state of AUCTeX on my PC is as follows:
Emacs : XEmacs 21.5 (beta22) "cucumber" (+CVS-20050913)
[Lucid] (i386-suse-lin
ux, Mule) of Tue Sep 20 2005 on barry
Package: AUCTeX CVS-1.13 (2005-02-11)
current state:
==============
(setq
window-system 'x
LaTeX-version "2e"
TeX-style-path '("style/" "auto/" "~/TeX/style/"
"~/TeX/auto/"
"/usr/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex/style/"
"/usr/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex/auto/")
TeX-auto-save nil
TeX-parse-self nil
TeX-master nil
)
When I use within AUCTeX the commend ^c^q^e to format an environment such
as \begin{align} ... \end{align}, strange things happen.
Let us assume that I have the following environment in my LaTeX sourde code:
\begin{subequations}
\label{EuMaclau}
\begin{align}
% \label{}
\sum_{\nu=M}^{N} \, g (\nu) & \; = \; \int_{M}^{N} \, g (x) \,
\mathrm{d} x \, + \, \frac{1}{2} \,
\bigl[g (M) + g (N)\bigr] \notag \\
& \qquad + \, \sum_{j=1}^{k} \, \frac {B_{2j}} {(2j)!} \left[
g^{(2j-1)} (N) - g^{(2j-1)} (M) \right] \, + \, R_k (g) \, ,
\\
% \label{}
R_k (g) & \; = \; - \, \frac{1}{(2k)!} \, \int_{M}^{N} \, B_{2k}
\bigl( x - \Ent{x} \bigr) \, g^{(2k)} (x) \, \mathrm{d} x \, .
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
If my cursor is at the beginning of the line of the first label
\label{EuMaclau}
the command ^c^q^e produces the following correct resuly:
\begin{subequations}
\label{EuMaclau}
\begin{align}
% \label{}
\sum_{\nu=M}^{N} \, g (\nu) & \; = \; \int_{M}^{N} \, g (x) \,
\mathrm{d} x \, + \, \frac{1}{2} \,
\bigl[g (M) + g (N)\bigr] \notag \\
& \qquad + \, \sum_{j=1}^{k} \, \frac {B_{2j}} {(2j)!} \left[
g^{(2j-1)} (N) - g^{(2j-1)} (M) \right] \, + \, R_k (g) \, ,
\\
% \label{}
R_k (g) & \; = \; - \, \frac{1}{(2k)!} \, \int_{M}^{N} \, B_{2k}
\bigl( x - \Ent{x} \bigr) \, g^{(2k)} (x) \, \mathrm{d} x \, .
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
Let us now assume that my cursor is at the veginning of the first line
\begin{subequations}
of this environment. Then, the command ^c^q^e should try to format the
whole document. XEmacs -- or rather AUCTeX -- also tries to do this. It
starts ro format and counts the progress until it reaches 90%. Then,
XEmacs freezes and has to be killed.
If I try to get out of the frozen XEmacs via the command ^k^x, the whole
PC freezes and can only be started by turning electricity off and on.
This problem occurs both under KDE and Gnome.
Greetings and best regards
Ernst Joachim

Warning:
Defaulting to the GNU Emacs-derived `sendmail.el' mail client. This facility,
while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get
better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without
packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail
clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x
report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly.
To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" ->
"Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the
list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities.
To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly
initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent .
