[gnu.emacs.bug] 18.53 from shell script

mlittman@WIND.BELLCORE.COM (Michael S. Littman) (04/18/89)

GNU Emacs 18.52.6 of Tue Sep  6 1988 on wind (berkeley-unix):

Any reason that I'd have trouble running 18.53 from a shell script?
The following shell script:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/public/bin/gnumacs $*

simply locks up when gnumacs is linked to an 18.53 executable.  It
works fine for our 18.52.  Help?

You need to read <38539@bbn.COM> (in the newsgroups comp.emacs,
gnu.emacs, and gnu.emacs.bug) and apply the patch therein to your
emacs.c.  You can get that article from
tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/18.53-fixes.Z or from
osu-cis:/u/public/emacs/18.53-fixes.Z.
