same happens here, (emacs-version) "GNU Emacs 21.2.1
(i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2002-03-22 on
raven, modified by Debian"

*complete crash*

i'd rather use Eshell though. i'll append the problems i found here:

  - when using unrecognized command options, isn't it supposed to call an
    external shell (say /bin/bash)? i'm getting:

    ~ $ ls -l
    total 35135
    usage: eshell/ls: (&rest ARGS)
    ~ $ 

  - sometimes, i open a shell in a message buffer, do some operation and
    close it by killing the process, going back to message-mode. couldn't
    find the way to do the same with Eshell.
