(Mike) Miller Sent: 29/06/2013 7:50 PM To: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org Subject: Long hangs in emacs under Cygwin X on Windows 7 Sometime in the last 2-3 weeks I've started experiencing long hangs, as much as several minutes, at random times while using emacs. My environment is Cygwin X under Windows 7 64-bit. I'm not sure what changed, although I may have upgraded to the current version of X around the time that this started. Nothing else seems to be affected, just emacs. It happens equally with versions 24.2.1 and 24.3.1 of emacs. The hangs occur randomly -- sometimes when bringing focus back to the emacs window after using other windows for a while, sometimes just between keystrokes. It happens most frequently when I'm using gdb in a window via M-x gdb; although it's certainly not exclusively that, sometimes I can't type a single (relatively long) gdb command without emacs freezing twice. The system is not resource-limited: it's a dual 3-GHz Xeon system with 12 GB of RAM. The process monitor shows basically nothing going on when I'm in the hung state. Any thoughts or suggestions for how to diagnose the problem would be most welcome. Thanks. -- William M. (Mike) Miller | Edison Design Group william.m.miller@gmail.com
