I started emacs with "-q --no-site-file", M-: (call-process "ls") RET (or any other process) emacs hangs until C-g is pressed. Setting debug-on-quit to true does not give extra information. This happens with all emacs-21 versions but only on alpha, not on GNU-linux, IRIX, ULTRIX, HP or Solaris Recent input: Recent messages: (emacs -q --no-site-file) Loading tool-bar...done Loading image...done Loading tooltip...done For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.
