I am not sure it is GC, but I don't know what else it could be, and a couple of times Emacs died because I typed C-g at it during that time and said it was fatal to have an error in GC. (It is a bug that C-g C-g during GC causes a crash.) Over time, GC takes longer and longer. Once I had to kill Emacs because it went a few minutes without finishing a GC. A couple of times, it crashed saying memory was full. The previously reported problem, applying to epa decryption still occurs: decryption never finishes. When I type C-g while it is hung, I get a message asking me whether to kill the epa process that is still running. If I say yes, Emacs responds again but the decryption has not been done. I could get more info about that, with some trouble. I don't know how to give more info about the GC problem. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
