If Emacs is spawned from a program using the Unix C lib function "system()", the spawning program gets a SIGIO signal and Emacs hangs. Actually, the keyboard input is going to the spawning process and not Emacs as it should. These problems may be related. I will post my own message regarding this. If you hear any news please inform me and I shall do the same. Best Wishes, Greg McPherran
