I am having trouble running Gnuemacs 18.53 (X11 upgrade) on a Sequent Balance. It seems that when Gnu Emacs is not the process group leader, and is talking over a socket to an X server it does not receive SIGIOs even though a call to setpgrp() has been made. Can anyone give me information that would confirm or deny this? Are there known bugs in the SIGIO fcntl? Are there patches - or do we have to hack up the source to fix it? Thanks in advance.

No. add (set-input-mode nil nil) to your /usr/local/emacs/lisp/default.el. rms points out that this is likely (and does) prevent C-g from being a true interrupt but at least it is usable. Consider this a workaround until (the non-existant time when) sequent comes up to 4.3. -- rich.
