Subject: help! Keep getting emacs locked up / not responding to c-g / having to kill process
Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 21:53:01 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b162b39e-72f4-4f3d-8330-7254464cf17f@googlegroups.com> (raw)
This is related to my previous post about clearing the kill ring. I have a frequent case, when running shell buffers, where selecting a lot of the buffer (could be thousands of lines) seems to lock up emacs. Most of the time, one or more c-g hits will stop what it was doing and give me back control. However, lately (including 15 minutes ago) I've been hitting this and c-g does nothing and ps shows emacs at around 95% cpu. As this is a shared server, that doesn't make me popular with other users!
I end up having to kill the process. This really sucks since I had about a dozen shell buffers logged into multiple servers and running long jobs that were all killed when I killed emacs.
Any suggestions on stopping this from happening in the first place and/or something stronger than c-g but short of killing emacs?
FYI, this is 24.3.something on REH 5.something.
Thanks!
David
