Hi Pete, Clearcase is a source control system. Like CVS. This whole problem is happening only inside a clearcase view. I explained this in my first mail. There is no change to our linux system. We only upgraded our emacs. Old Emacs-20.7 works fine. We had been using emacs-20.7 for quite some time. It was always fine for us. Even now, M-x shell works in emacs-20.7. Only in emacs-21.4 it is not working. This fact points out that there is some change in emacs-21.4.
