in a shell buffer when i try to interrrupt a subjob
(comint-interrupt-subjob) the shell itself (bash) is awlays
killed. same problem with `comint-kill-subkob'.

i have played around with the var `comint-ptyp', but that doesn't help:
nil results in killing the bash, t results in nothing happens apart
from the text `ESC x c o m i n t - i n t e r r u p t - s u b j o b'
appears in the buffer. %-|

i have this problem in emacs 21.3.50 on mac os and in 21.1 on windows 2k.

anybody any idea?

thanks, leo

That's because emacs knows nothing about your subjob.

To kill you subjob, send it a normal shell signal character such
as ^C, like this:

C-q C-c RET

-kin
