Very regularly the process output stalls and only continu when I give some input to emacs. this can be a keyboar input or a mouse click, even changing focus or moving a window will help. I haven't noticed this before, but usually I continue typing while the background process is running. This is on the 22.0.93 pretest, compiled from the tarball on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Has anyone experienced the same behaviour or is this a known problem? -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org
