I've seen this happen on one of our NeXTstation(but not our 040 Cubes), and I've mentioned a few times but no one has ever figured this out. HAS ANYONE ELSE WITNESSED THIS PROBLEM? It makes Emacs unusable on some NeXTs. I have a NeXT with version 2.1 of the system. We have emacs 18.55 running. (Please don't tell me to upgrade to version 18.57 unless you can also supply a pointer to diffs or at least s- and m- files for the NeXT.) There are several machines in our network and we are using yellow pages. The problems is that whenever I try to find a file (either through "C-x C-f", "emacs file" or through a client talking to the server) emacs freezes completely for between 15 and 30 seconds. The file then loads and everything works fine. In about 1 in 10 times the file loads immediately with no delay at all. Have you tried upgrading to 18.57? :-) I have some diffs that I finally got around to applying yesterday that seem to work. I'll upload the entire emacs 18.57(diffs applied) plus the diffs in case I screwed up something. -Mike -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ N N X X TTTTTTT | melling@cs.psu.edu NN N eeee X X T | melling@vivaldi.psu.edu (NeXT mail) N N N e e X X T |---------------------------------------------- N N N eeeee X X T |"Medicine will cure death and government will N NN e X X T | repeal taxes before Steve [Jobs] will fail."
