[comp.emacs] Emacs anamolies under Ultrix 4.0

mcpgr01@cai.com (04/09/91)

I have observed the following behaviors of Emacs under Ultrix 4.0 on a VAX:

	1. When Emacs is spawned from a program using 'system("emacs");',
	   the spwaning process receives the signal SIGIO when any key is
	   pressed after Emacs comes up. All subsequent keyboard input goes
	   to the spwawning process and not Emacs as it should.

	2. When a subshell is started in emacs using the shell meta command,
 	   Ultrix reports "switching to new tty driver". The shell seems to
           work fine but a database precompiler that I use reports 
   	   "Invalid User" when I try to run it from the shell.

Any info about the above would be appreciated.
