So there is nothing in the BackTrace. Something is telling emacs to quit when I issue a shell command. I have yet to really look at the source code, but if anyone out there knows what file has the routine for the shell commands, I could put a breakpoint there and watch it. Or if there is just a way to turn on all debug printfs. BTW: I have eliminated anything in the .emacs and system file by repeating the issue with --debug-init and --no-init-file --no-site-file On Wed, 2007-07-25 at 10:20 +1200, Nick Roberts wrote: > Robert Woodworth writes: > > Help! > > > > Ubuntu 7.04 > > > My emacs is suddenly crashing every time I start an external process. > > I've tried "shell" "compile" "gdb" etc... > > The entire emacs process crashes with an "exit normally" return. ?? > > > > Just for kicks, I uninstalled the Ubuntu dpkg and re-installed it. -no fix- > > I also uninstalled the dpkg and compiled emacs 22.1 from source and *HAD > > THE SAME PROBLEM* > > > > My emacs is suddenly crashing every time I start an external process. > > I've tried "shell" "compile" "gdb" etc... > > The entire emacs process crashes with an "exit normally" return. ?? > > > > Just for kicks, I uninstalled the Ubuntu dpkg and re-installed it. -no fix- > > I also uninstalled the dpkg and compiled emacs 22.1 from source and *HAD > > THE SAME PROBLEM* > > > > > > > > So.... > > I must have a link, env var or some other system thing wrong. > > > > What debug items can I turn on so that I know what is happening when I > > try to start an external process?? > > Follow the instructions in report-emacs-bug, i.e. start Emacs in GDB and > then start an external process to get it to crash: > > If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, > please include the output from the following gdb commands: > `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. > > Please do this with the most up to date version of Emacs that you have. >
