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 do a rsh foo DISPLAY=bar:0.0 /usr/local/bin/xemacs-new -q from a console window on bar to the remote system foo. (xemacs 21.4.8 is doing business as xemacs-new.) Then do an xkill from any system on the XEmacs window, which generates on bar the output: xemacs: Fatal I/O Error 32 (Broken pipe) on display connection "bar:0.0" after 2659 requests (2659 known processed) with 0 events remaining. And the XEmacs process on foo attempts to use 100% of the CPU. A truss indicates the XEmacs is in a poll loop. Attaching to the process in dbx gives the following suggested stack trace: Attached to process 24485 stopped in _poll at 0xfeb1a13c 0xfeb1a13c: _poll+0x0008: bgeu _poll+0x30 (dbx 3) where =>[1] _poll(0x1, 0x8, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0), at 0xfeb1a13c [2] _libc_select(0x7, 0x0, 0x0, 0xffbef2f0, 0xffbef458, 0xffbef2e8), at 0xfeaccfac [3] _XtWaitForSomething(0x323400, 0x0, 0x0, 0x1, 0xf4240, 0x0), at 0xfef8b24c [4] XtAppPending(0x4, 0x1, 0x0, 0x323400, 0x4, 0x1), at 0xfef9022c [5] emacs_Xt_event_pending_p(0x1, 0x2c7400, 0xffbef76c, 0x2c77d8, 0x0, 0xfffffffc), at 0x1ff7fc [6] detect_input_pending(0x386480, 0x0, 0x2c6400, 0x0, 0x2bf000, 0x2bec00), at 0xf864c [7] redisplay_device(0x5a9400, 0x31599c, 0x2f3804, 0x5d5200, 0x320400, 0x312eac), at 0x1b2a88 [8] redisplay_without_hooks(0x5b5148, 0x2f3804, 0x5a9400, 0x5b5190, 0xffff8000, 0x2bf000), at 0x1b3088 [9] Fnext_event(0x67e500, 0x2f3804, 0x1d, 0x59f200, 0x2c6400, 0x386480), at 0xfa26c [10] Fcommand_loop_1(0x2f3804, 0x2c6400, 0xffbefaa4, 0xffbefa2c, 0xffbefa20, 0x0), at 0x69118 [11] condition_case_1(0x2f3864, 0x2c0800, 0x2bac00, 0x2c6400, 0x2c7c00, 0x2c8800), at 0x95a8c [12] command_loop_2(0x2f3804, 0x68a2c, 0x7837c, 0x30f6, 0x78370, 0x0), at 0x68a8c [13] internal_catch(0x3070ac, 0x0, 0x2c6400, 0x0, 0x0, 0x145), at 0x941f4 [14] initial_command_loop(0x2f3804, 0x2c6400, 0x0, 0x4d9274, 0x2f, 0x282400), at 0x68c54 [15] xemacs_21_4_8_sparc_sun_solaris2_8(0x2, 0xffbefe2c, 0x2f3804, 0x6, 0x342fd8, 0xffffffff), at 0x87d18 [16] main(0x2, 0xffbefe2c, 0xffbefe38, 0x2ad400, 0x0, 0x0), at 0x8872c After detaching dbx and killing the process, generates the following output on bar: Lisp backtrace follows: # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...) The problem is easily reproducible amoung a variety of our Solaris 8 Sparc systems and is also present in version 21.4.5 of XEmacs. For what it is worth, the problem does not seem to occur in version 21.1.11. Of course, the easy answer is "Don't do an xkill", but we are seeing this problem in other circumstances also, e.g. having a X-server remote from the system running the XEmacs process and there being communications difficulties between the systems to cause the X-server to quit or the connections to terminate for other reasons. Any assistance would be appreciated. thx, hf ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: SunOS bison 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire configure '--compiler=/opt/spro62/SUNWspro/bin/cc' '--with-gcc=no' '--prefix=/work/external/harry/xemacs/bld.SunOS-sun4u.20020510' '--with-sparcworks' '--with-workshop' '--with-tooltalk' '--site-includes=/usr/local/ren/prod/include /usr/local/gnu/include /usr/local/include' '--infopath=/usr/local/info:usr/local/ren/prod/info:/usr/local/gnu/info' '--site-libraries=/usr/local/ren/prod/lib /usr/local/lib' '--with-xpm' '--with-ncurses=no' '--with-sound=native' '--with-jpeg=yes' '--with-png=yes' '--with-ldap=no' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter" configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.8'.
