24.3 linux runaway emacs processes

24.3 linux runaway emacs processes

[Neal Becker]

I've been using 24.3 for a while on fedora 18 linux.  I remotely connect
every day using ssh -X emacs.

Frequently I come in the next morning to find a emacs process running away with 
100% cpu.  This did not happen with 24.2.  I use emacs all day, every day, so I
would certainly notice such things.

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.6.4)
 of 2013-04-19 on nbecker7

Next time it happens, attach GDB to Emacs, find out where it is
burning the CPU cycles, and make a bug report with all that info.

A few more suggestions:

Send a description of this to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org
so that we get a proper bug number.

If you're running Emacs as a daemon, please see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860312

Anything in your .xsession-errors?

You might try compiling with "-g3 -Og" or "-g3 -O0" to
get better debugging info after a crash.

One thing, I never use emacs daemon, so it isn't that.
