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* 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??
