[comp.sys.hp] Infinite loop with Emacs 18.55, HP-UX 7.0 and X11

mikep@abekrd.co.UK (Mike Park) (08/08/90)

PROBLEM:
   Emacs 18.55 runs fine within an Xterm, but goes into a infinite
   loop and core dumps when running in its own X window after the first
   keyboard press or mouse click.  I compiled it with XDEBUG and sometimes
   the string XTread_socket is continually repeated until the inevitable 
   bus error, but not always.  The bus error occurs after virtual
   memory is exhausted.

I am running X11 patch 18, standard MIT, standard Emacs 18.55, no default.el,
no .emacs, no site.el. I have no problems with this Emacs compiled on a
SUN3 with SunOS 4.0.1. I tried the patch about TIOCSIGSEND with no luck.

What is my obvious mistake? Pleeze help needed! Any pointers will 
gratefully be dereferenced.

Mike

                  Oops! Finger trouble - I meant X11R4 patch level 14.

I've been running the X11R3 supplied with HP-UX 7.0, standard Emacs
18.55, and the Emacs running on a HP9000/845 and using an Apollo
DN3500 as a display, there's no problem.  Everything works fine with
both no local definitions and my "full" .emacs stuff.

I have heard of problems on Series 300 - are you perhaps running on
one of those?
