Every now and then it happens that emacs will hang, i.e., it does not accept any input for a couple of seconds. Then the normal emacs display with window(s), modeline, etc. disappears and I get a blank xterm with only the following lines displayed Auto-save? (y or n) y Abort (and dump core)? (y or n) n Continuing... (I type the `y' and `n'.) Afterwards, the normal display with window(s), modeline, etc. comes up again and I can continue normally. What is causing this?? Thanks, Roland
