I'm not sure if it's reproducible, but here's what I'm experiencing: When I type `M-x eshell RET ls RET', there's no output. Instead, two buffers called `nil' and `t' are created. The `nil' buffer is empty, but the `t' buffer contains the output of the `ls' command. I can do this any number of times, and all command output will keep going to the mysterious `t' buffer. I can actually use Eshell by splitting the frame and having the `t' buffer in one window and the `*eshell*' buffer in another, but it's not very convenient. :-) Because this bug is so crippling, I suspect that it might be a problem specific to my system; please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to diagnose the problem. -- Daniel Brockman
