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!
When I open eshell, everything works fine. I can type "bzip2 --help"
and I get the help as desired. When I open a dired buffer after that -
but the sequence is not important; it could be the other way round - I
cannot type "bzip2 --help" anymore - in fact I can, but there is no
output. It seems that NO program is being run any more although M-x
shell-command and dired are working.
ls works in eshell, of course - but that's because it's coded in
elisp. Oh, eshell begins - or rather: executing shell commands in eshell -
to work again after I've killed ALL dired-buffers.
Has anyone got a clue for me what might be going on here?
Btw, I'm using bash as my shell, but it has nothing dto do with that,
since I've tested it with cmd.exe, too.
Bye. Adam.
