Emacs-19.25 : a case of the living dead ?
Peter Watkins
OK but doesn't seem to disappear when required.
Every morning I come to the office, turn on the machine (dylan)
and log in. Dylan is a Sparc 2 running OS 4.1.3 & OW 3). I have
'tcsh' as my default shell and the last entry in my .openwin-init
file starts emacs in background.
After installing emacs-19.25 I noticed that 'rup' was reporting
VERY high loads on dylan (>6!!). A quick 'ps' indicated that I had
multiple versions of emacs running often from several days ago.
It looks very much as if the backgroud emacs job doesn't get killed
when I exit OpenWindows and logoff each night. The emacs installation
used x11 but not the toolkit - the standard set up from configure.
Can anyone confirm that this is a bug in emacs or have I messed
something up?
Dr Peter Watkins.

: Has anyone else seen this problem with emacs-19.25? Emacs works

I have the same problem under AIX-3.2 rs6000 (x-terminal).
Some times when something goes wrong (getting out of memory for example),
emacs-19.22 window disappears, while the process of emacs eats all my cpu.
(sometimes cpu+memory).
