[gnu.emacs.bug] possible bug in run-scheme

f-ih@IFI.UIO.NO (07/04/89)

Our implementation of gnuemacs (GNU Emacs 18.51.1 (berkeley-unix)) on SunOS
4.0.2 does not seem to support the function xscheme-send-control-g-interrupt.
That is, the routine exists, but it doesn't seem to do anything. 

I run csheme (Scheme Microcode Version 10.2), which relies heavily upon the
-function. As Scheme is not very popular around here, the systems programmers
can't find the spare time to help us poor demented ai workers.

Is this a well-known bug, is there a cure for it, and, if such be the case,
what can be done about it? Even the smallest of hints will be met with great
appreciation.

We had this problem.  Check to see that your xscheme.el is current.
When we updated to the new version, the bug disappeared.  Here's a little
sampling from ours:

;;; Requires C-Scheme release 5 or later
;;; Changes to Control-G handler require runtime version 13.85 or later

;;; $Header: xscheme.el,v 1.21 88/10/21 16:30:23 GMT cph Exp $

If you need the new version, send me mail.  One can't seriously use the
interface to Scheme that MIT provided!! :-)
