Here is the differences between this version of the FAQ list and the last
version.  Question numbers were stripped from both versions before doing
the comparison because the questions were renumbered.  (Actually, I don't
keep numbers in the master copy that I edit.)

+ Q: Why doesn't "C-c C-c" interrupt subprocesses under HP/UX?
+   
+   Paul Stravers <stravers@dutentb.tudelft.nl> writes:
+   
+   In HP/UX we can (must) combine the two distinct calls
+           1.    ioctl (fildes, TIOCGPGRP, &gid);
+           2.    kill (-gid, signo);
+   into the single call
+           1+2.  ioctl (fildes, TIOCSIGSEND, signo);
+   
+   This is apparently the case under at least HP/UX versions 6.5 and 7.0.
+   
+   Here is a set of patches courtesy of Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.ruu.nl>
+   that fixes these problems:
+   
+   1. Signals to child processes work now (like the C-c C-c mentioned above)
+   
+   2. When running under X11, C-g now correctly interrupts long-running commands
+   
+   3. When running under X11, the window is redislayed even if emacs is doing
+   some work (e.g. if your window becomes visible after being behind another
+   one.
+   
+   4. A nasty bug in alloca is solved. This bug is very infrequent unless you
+   apply the other patches.
+   
+   {I don't know for sure whether all of these patches are applicable only
+   under HP/UX.  Perhaps someone can tell me.}

!   Many different X errors can produce this message.  Here is the solution

+   X11 Release 4 now enforces some conditions in the X protocol that were
+   previously allowed to pass unnoticed.  You need to put the X11R4 server
