I recently updated our GNU Emacs from 18.52 to 18.53. Everything appears to work normally except that when you try to invoke Emacs from other programs such as mail, news, etc., you end up with the /tmp/WHATEVER file created and an emacs in the "stopped" state and no sign on your screen of an emacs. Another application which starts up a SUN shellwindow in which to run the Emacs displays the empty shell window with no output in it. Is there a known problem relating to this and a known fix/workaround short of going back to 18.52? I didn't want to wade through 5000 lines of change log and little knowledge of the inner workings of either Emacs or mail, etc. to try to find what may have introduced the problem. Note that "emacsclient" and "server" work OK, but few of our users use that mode. The problem exists on both Sun 3 and Sun 4 running SUNOS 4.0.3. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate a reply by mail. pete peterson rep@genrad.com {decvax,linus,wjh12,mit-eddie,masscomp}!genrad!rep

Additional information regarding my previous posting: Executing the following script works fine: #!/bin/csh -f exec emacs Executing the following script results in message: "Stopped (tty output)" : #!/bin/csh -f emacs Note it's not in background and stty everything shows "-tostop" at any rate. pete peterson rep@genrad.com {decvax,linus,wjh12,mit-eddie,masscomp}!genrad!rep
