The problem is that the emacs client process and the X11 display server go compute-bound, apparently exchanging messages, Yes, we've seen this, both under SunOS 3.4 and 4.0.1. I kinda doubt it's a problem in the OS. It's very sporadic here, we haven't found a reliable way to reproduce the problem, so we haven't really investigated. But it is annoying.

I posted about this a while ago. I got a message from somebody that told me to put in the following patch. It appears to have eliminated the problem under SunOS 4.0 and 4.0.1 on Sun 386i's when running both X10 and X11. *** sysdep.c.old Mon Jun 5 13:21:49 1989 --- sysdep.c Mon Jun 5 01:03:17 1989 *************** *** 584,587 init_sigio () { #ifdef FASYNC old_fcntl_flags = fcntl (0, F_GETFL, 0) & ~FASYNC; --- 599,607 ----- init_sigio () { + #ifdef sun + setpgrp(0, getpgrp(0)); + #endif + #ifdef FASYNC old_fcntl_flags = fcntl (0, F_GETFL, 0) & ~FASYNC; I'm sorry, I forget the name of the person that sent it to me. Whoever you are, thanks. BTW, has anybody fixed the problem of lost events and keytrokes under Ultrix. (Specifically, Every version of DEC's X11 that I have seen loses keys every once in a while, and beeps. Occasionally Emacs crashes with a complaint about lost events. This has happened with both Ultrix 3.0 and 3.1, both test and production versions.) -Israel Pinkas -- -------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The above are my personal opinions, and in no way represent the opinions of Intel Corporation.
