Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2001-12-02 on solaris Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: C locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Under Solaris 5.8, on the console: Start emacs 21.1 with emacs -q -nw from, say, an xterm window. Then do M-x shell (my shell is tcsh) Then do something that takes time to run like /usr/sbin/traceroute www.bbc.co.uk Then type ^C^C (which is bound to comint-interrupt-subjob) I then see a shell prompt, but the traceroute process is still running and producing output and shows up in jobs. I first ran into this with other processes (Allegro Common Lisp executed from the command line in the shell buffer) that read input. The earlier processes that I thought I had killed were getting input that I typed into the shell buffer. Here are some things that "fix" this: 1. Evaluate (display-time) or 2. emacs -q (when using Sun's window system) If either of these is done, then the problem doesn't manifest itself. I will be unavailable until April 30. You may CC Aaron Heller (Heller@AI.SRI.COM) who helped look into this bug.
