Emacs stuck on VMware.

Emacs stuck on VMware.

Dear All,

I am using Emacs 22 GTK on VMware (where Ubuntu runs).
It is typical of me to suspend VMware before I leave my work place and to
wake up it every morning.

Sometimes, my emacs windows are found to get stuck showing only blank
screens when I wake up VMware.
If this happens, I have to kill the emacs application process and to launch
it again.

This cumbersome situation happens a few times for a month or so, but not
always.

This kind of bug description might not good to get interests from you, but
this is all I can explain. Sigh.
I am wondering if there is anybody has the same experience.

Thanks.

Kwanghoon

This not just happened in VMware, i run Emacs in Ubuntu linux (host OS).
It will freeze if i don't type anything long time.

This situation happens almost 1 times per 2 days.
I think it's something bug of elisp code.
Hope maintainer will test this bug.

elisp code is not stable enough when code is too large.

Forgot to say that this is some bug in core functionality. Therefore I
do not think it has anything to do with Emacs size (except for lack of
human resources), but rather with the complexity of supporting
numerous platform (where the core functionality must be implemented
different).
