Subject: emacs 22.0.990, simple start-process crashes emacs on 64-bit Windows
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 16:17:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9302.1179875849@gemini.franz.com> (raw)
Eli Zaretskii asked me to report the problem here instead of
bug-gnu-emacs. Here's what I know so far:
Startup emacs -q and put this into the *scratch* buffer
(start-process "foo" "*foo*" "c:/windows/notepad.exe")
On evaling this, I see a pause of a few seconds then the emacs window
disappears. (For me, notepad.exe is in windows/ and well as
windows/system32/.)
The same behavior occurs on emacs 21 (.3 and .4).
I'm on Windodws Server 2003 R2, Standard x64 Edition, SP 2, but I've
seen it on XP Pro (64-bit), too. I'm on an AMD64. (I don't have or
care about IA64 64-bit Windows.)
The emacs 22.0.990 was built on 32-bit XP Pro with MSVC 6.0 (w/sp6 (I
believe)).
I ran this under windbg, and I got absolutely nowhere. I set a
breakpoint at Fstart_process and it never got there. windbg did say
the breakpoint was there and active.
Here's what is on the stack after the emacs window disappears:
ntdll!NtTerminateProcess+0xa
wow64!Wow64SystemServiceEx+0xd6
wow64cpu!ServiceNoTurbo+0x28
wow64!RunCpuSimulation+0xa
wow64!Wow64LdrpInitialize+0x2ed
ntdll!LdrpInitializeProcess+0x1538
ntdll!LdrpInitialize+0x18f
ntdll!KiUserApcDispatcher+0x15

0x0
0x0

I did set in windbg the source path to the emacs-22.0.990\src
directory.
I might be able to allow someone to poke around using crossloop.com
(which is based on VNC).
