From: "Shannon Jones" <cz2s20d02 <at> sneakemail.com> To: emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org Subject: bug#3399: Crash in multi-TTY mode Date: 27 May 2009 02:44:23 -0000
I'm almost embarrassed to report this, since it's rather strange and
most likely unique to my setup. Still, it involves a crash so I
thought it would be worthwhile to see if anyone else can reproduce it.
* Emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.10.4) of 2009-05-26
* Compiled on CentOS 5.3.
* No options given to configure
* To reproduce:
Run screen
In screen, run 'emacs -Q -nw'
M-x server-start
Detach screen (C-a d)
Now emacs is running in the background inside screen.
Run 'emacsclient -c' outside of screen, but as the same user.
As the window is painting, hit C-x C-c
The window will close. Re-open screen, and see that Emacs has crashed
with this error:
Fatal error (11)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
My emacs is running on a server, and I'm displaying on my home machine
over the internet. The latency is high enough that I can see the
screen painting (it takes about 5-10 seconds to fully paint the first
time). If I wait until the window is completely open, then C-x C-c
doesn't crash emacs.
I'm using Windows XP with Xming 6.9.0.31 as the X server. I can
reproduce it 100% of the time on this machine.
If I use Ubuntu 8.10 as the X server, then emacs doesn't crash.
However, on Ubuntu 8.10, if I hit C-x C-c repeatedly while the window
is drawing, then the background emacs (the one running in screen)
exits but doesn't crash. It shouldn't exit, since I was typing C-x
C-c in the emacsclient window, not the background emacs session. I
get 'xcxcxc' repeated on the command prompt in the screen session. I
presume this is because I was repeatedly typing C-x C-c in the
emacsclient window. Even though it was detatched, typing in the
emacsclient window is causing letters to appear on the command prompt
in the screen session.
Here is some output from gdb from core dump:
