When I try to use Emacs Info, if the info file is gzipped an error message window pops up with the following message : "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:0726 IP:ffd8 OP:fe ff 00 00 00 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application." The message window has the title "16 bit MS DOS Subsystem". The error happens in the function call-process-region. The following code produces the same error: (call-process-region (point-min) end-of-gzipped "gunzip" t t nil) (here between point-min and end-of-gzipped I have some text compressed with gzip) When I use info from the Cygwin command line it works fine. Can anyone help? -- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was in a buffer, and the buffer was in Emacs.
