bug#20397: 24.4; Crash on open in MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite

[Daniel Jones]

About 65% of the time emacs crashes and a right click on the dock icon reveals 'not responding'

Any suggestions?

Run Emacs in a debugger and/or post the backtrace of the crash.

bug#20397: 24.4; Crash on open in MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite

Hi,

I fixed this a few weeks ago. It was caused by inputs events arriving
before the init code had finished. When the system was heavily loaded, when
memory was low, when the a disk needed to spin up etc. this became more
prominent.

This was fixed by block input in the init function, see
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-25&id=0392e241b844487261d4dfcccc9a442793e0a868
for
details.

Sincerely,
    Anders Lindgren
