I have just installed Mandrake 6.0 and am experiencing the following
problem:

When running from a tty (non x) session, Emacs crashes most horribly
upon receiving the Control-C part of the shutdown (C-x C-c). It sends a
fatal
error 11 message then:
a) If I am logged in as root the window just hangs. If I log into
another tty session I can't kill the emacs process. It hangs in there
with a status of 'D'. In this case I cannot shut the machine down
cleanly, but get an improper unmounting of the drive emacs is running
from.
b) If I am logged in on a user account, I get a segmentation fault
message. In this case emacs crashes, but goes away, and gives me the
prompt back, and shuts down fine.

It seems to run properly from an X Windows session.

I have tried

a)installing the X11 binary from rpm

b)installing the nox binary from rpm

c)installing the (dependable "old") emacs from Redhat 5.2

d)recompiling emacs from source


Still the same problem. If anyone from either the Emacs or Mandrake
community can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. I am
actually surprised I haven't seen any other posting on this. I am cross
posting to alt.os.linux.mandrake and gnu.emacs.help.

thanks
