Dear Bug Team!
A few weeks back I decided to upgrade xemacs. After the upgrade I was
no longer able to run a shell from xemacs because when I do the screen
goes haywire. (The command prompt is not visible other than a reverse
video view of where it is, no characters are visible when I type them
and the screen mostly doesn't refresh after being iconified and
restored....) The behavior is the same for running shells, trying to
compile, or validate an XML file. I'm running xemacs with cygwin.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything (a couple times)
with no luck. Any suggestions?

This is due to a bug in the 1.5 Cygwin series. Your options are:
(1) Revert to an older version of Cygwin;
(2) Don't spawn any subprocesses until the bug is fixed (it is fixed in
CVS, so my guess is that the next Cygwin DLL release will solve the
problem);
(3) Start XEmacs from a bash shell rather than using the desktop icon
(this fixes the problem for some people, including me, but I've had
one report that it didn't work);
(4) Change the desktop icon link as described here:

This sounds like a cygwin problem with select, what version of cygwin are
you running? 1.5.x is known to have problems currently - you should stick to
1.3.x for the moment if you can.
