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 0x77d59620 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 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).
